"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically valid sentence in the English language, used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs.

Is one of those "buffalos" being used as a verb?

Apparently so, here's the intended meaning:

"Buffalo-origin bison that other Buffalo bison intimidate, themselves bully Buffalo bison."

I'm glad you posted this. As an admitted grammar nerd (I'm a high school English teacher after all), I enjoyed this and I'm going to have to find a way to torture my students in class with this by making them find a way to diagram this sentence to show that it actually makes sense. ;)

First and last letters need to be in the correct position and all other letters must be there.

You've got the right idea, and you used short enough words here that I think most people would gather the man-love relationship you're implying, but not perfectly correct according to the study, which if I remember correctly, was a Cambridge University study (or Cmgdabire Uvseritny sduty).

They say the way your brain works, it reads the first and last letter, and what's filled in the middle doesn't really need to be in order.....or something like that.

yep. I've generally found it to be true. Then again, I'm also one of those people that really has 0 trouble reading books upside down or at a 90 degree angle, if other people are looking at the same document. Other people apparently have trouble with that, so I never know if things like that are true or if I'm just a good reader.
