I was directed to an entry on Wikipedia on homophonous phrases:

One of my favorites has got to be Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. In this instance, buffalo can refer to a) the city in NY, b) the animal and c) the verb meaning to bully. So in essence, the statement means those buffaloes from the city of Buffalo that other buffaloes from Buffalo bully, themselves bully other buffaloes from Buffalo.
The one about badgers is also quite amusing.
