Quote:"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." is a grammatically correct sentence used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated constructs.
That's one hell of a sentence.
edit: damn, I can't edit the topic and now I look like a huge idiot

Thanks Dee. Now I have a headache, and will probably have nightmares either about buffalo or English teachers.

Quote:HOW AMERICAN INDIANS UTILIZED THE BUFFALO
* Meat To Eat
* Dung For Fires
* Brains For Tanning Hides
* Gallstones For Yellow Paint
* Hooves Boiled To Make Glue
* Horns For Cups And Spoons
* Small Bones For Knives And Tools
* Sinew For Bowstrings And Sewing Thread
* Tails For Shooing Flies
Seriously? That must have been the rarest paint on Earth. First, you have to get lucky and kill a buffalo who just happens to have gallstones. Second, process said gallstones and get 1g of paint/buffalo. Third... profit?

Maybe buffaloes are 99% predisposed to having gallstones the size of watermelons. Maybe when they pee, giant watermelon-sized yellow gallstones fire off in all directions like mana from heaven. *edit* Oh wait I don't think gallstones work that way

They just specified what the gallstones were used for, they never said it was the only source of yellow pigment:whistling:

It's the only source of gallstone-colored yellow paint:)
