There seem to be a lot of complaints about this sentence. But does it really matter if it seems strange or silly? If it's grammatically correct, then it's just testing your comprehension. This is arguably better than something more obvious, like 'living room', where you can simply guess the correct answer.

Actually this is one of the few sentences in this course that I truly know by heart. Sometimes it pops in my brain out of the blue! =D

This is a very good argument and besides you can much easier remember a foolish sentence than a dull one.

It's good indeed but not the only possible one...

As a zookeeper who recently located from an English-speaking country to an Arabic-speaking country, this happens every day and this sentence has saved my life

Not really. Even if you are unable to conceive it, it's clear that it can be uttered in Arabic and that it is grammatically correct.
Besides, cannot Arabic speaking people write books for children with this sentence in?... A cartoon? A surreal poem? A fantasy film? Are all those proscribed from reality in Arabic when they use wacky sentences? What about some stories in ألف ليلة وليلة?

LOL And there is no need to resort only to mammals with eating disorders on appliances. I'd like to see here "Yesterday I spent the whole day naming every single hair in my moustache".
