Afraid not. Like it is it's not even a grammatically correct sentence. Try adding -es to make a proper subject-verb agreement in the first two and -es to the last one so you can avoid having to use an a.

Buffaloes buffalo Buffalo buffaloes.

Still very uninteresting, however.

Actually, "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo." is a perfectly logical sentence in American idiomatic English. It comes out to mean, with the understood portions in parenthesis:

"Bison living in Buffalo (a city in New York) confuse (or swindle) other bison (who do not live in Buffalo, New York)."

No, it is not the "weirdest sentence in English" but it would be confusing to a person whose original language isn't English, or who has little understanding of the American dialect.

The wierdest sentence could be: "How come?" At least it is tough to explain to someone who is learning the english language.

"Eats shoots and leaves" - Without the comma it's weird alright which brings me to that joke:-

A panda goes into a bar, asks for a ham sandwich, eats it and then takes out a revolver and fires it into the air.

When the publican asks him what on earth he is doing, he throws a book on to the bar and growls: 'This is a badly punctuated wildlife manual. Look me up.'

The barman flicks through the book and, under the relevant entry, reads: 'PANDA. Large, black-and-white, bear-like mammal native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.'
