Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular thought, the Lorem Ipsum text is not simply random text. It has its roots in a classic piece of Latin literature, dating back to 45 B.C., making it more than 2,000 years old. Richard McClintock, a professor of Latin at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, found one of the most obscure words in the Latin language, "consecteur," in a passage from Lorem Ipsum, and by reading further through various Latin texts, he discovered the undoubted source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finnibus 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
