Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem

Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an

unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting,

remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release

of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop

publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why

do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the

readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem

Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to

using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop

publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model

text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their

infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes

on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from?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.
