Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...

This familiar Latin phrase has been used by designers since the 1500's. According to www.lipsum.com (a site I use rather frequently to get text passages to paste into screen designs) the text comes from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) written in 45 BC by Cicero (two years before his murder by Mark Antony). That's probably more than you wanted to know but I'm a sucker for trivia.
