I guess that this is something what one can do in many languages, combine couple of different words and make quite some number of sentences.
But it is interesting and nice to see how you can change the meaning of the sentence by just changing the order of the words.

Well yes, I think this can be done in those languages that do not have cases, such as English, and in which the meaning of the sentence is dependent on the word order.
Now, I will take the liberty of correcting you and I hope you don't mind me doing so.
The word 'some' can be put before countable nouns in plural or before uncountable nouns. Now, since the word 'number' is countable, we shouldn't say 'some number of', but rather 'a number of'.
There is another slight mistake. The correct expression is '
a couple of'. This is not such a rare mistake since there are no articles in our language and sometimes it is difficult for us to understand their use. Just another particularity of English...(and not just English, mind you..)
