You must have noticed that many website templates do not have real English text written in there but you find the text starts with "Lorem Ipsum"...

It is basically a dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s

You can get this dummy text paragraphs and words from this webiste

www . lipsum . com

If you are using Firefox they have add-on for it too

      Yup.
      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...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.

        Ha! I had forgotten that link to "The Extremes of Good and Evil". It has been years since I have had to think where Lorem Ipsum text originally came from. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

    This thread reminded me of a site I used to visit a few years ago as an alternative to the famous Lorem Ipsum.

    It's another random text generator that produces something different each time you hit the generate button. I always thought it was fun.
