“Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit…”
“There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain….”

Have you always wanted to know if the famous Latin text: “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit…” actually means anything? Lorem Ipsum, or Lipsum for short, is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lipsum.com explains that contrary to popular belief, Lipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

The site explains the history and changes the text has gone through, along with a full translation. It also has the first true Lipsum generator on the Internet, free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words. Very handy for designers. (Clever Kat found this for me!)
