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.
