I still don't get the buffalo one.
It's a bit of a stretch, admittedly, but this is it:
'Buffalo' are animals, the plural has no final 's' 'Buffalo' is a city 'To buffalo' is a verb meaning to coerce in some way
therefore
Buffalo buffalo (animals from the city of Buffalo) buffalo (coerce) other Buffalo buffalo...
Useless, but grammatical.
For more bizarre sentences ("what did you bring the book I don't like to be read to out of up for?", yes, that's FIVE prepositions at the end) read "The Language Instinct" by Stephen Pinker. A fascinating book, and not just for the weird sentence stuff.
Anyway, Back to Runrev...
I still think 'sort cards of stack "myStack" by the name of this card' is weird....since 'this cd' would be a synonym for 'cd 4' if that was the current card, so it's as if you said 'sort cards of stack "myStack" by the name of cd 4' (which I just tried, BTW, and with no error. It moves cd 4 to cd 1, but leaves the order of the rest unchanged).
Cheers,
Mark
