Lorem ipsum: it is not just nonsense. :)

Hello, I studied Latin and ancient Greek at High School and therefore as a curiosity I can tell you that Lorem Ipsum is not just nonsense.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. >It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, >making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin >professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of >the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum >passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical >literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes >from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et >Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 >BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular >during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ?>ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
