In Response to Kath's Question...

Lorem Ipsum is dummy text. The publishing and the graphic design industries use it as a placeholder to focus attention on the visual layout of a document. The passage approximates a typical distribution of letters in English, which allows an editor to review the layout of a page without being distracted by readable content (see example). While creating a more accurate appearance than using ‘text goes here, text goes here.’

Since I knew you’d be interested, I found the standard lorem ipsum passage. It's a series of phrases pulled from Cicero’s de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (The Extremes of Good and Evil). The book, on the theory of ethics and popular during the Renaissance, was written about 45 BC, and the lorem ipsum passage itself has been relatively unchanged since 1500.

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.”

The English translation: “Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?”
