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.
