So my honors program at college likes to be cute, so instead of writing "blah blah blah" or "the quick brown fox..." to fill in the space on the "Example Research Paper" on its website, it repeats the following phrase over and over:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diem nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut lacreet dolor

I don't think it's Latin. Hm... Wikipedia entry for Lorem Ipsum :)

[mummimamma]

It's filler text, snatches of Latin, yes. Real Latin, ummm...

Actually your link states that it's out of a book by Cicero.

[mummimamma]

I know that, but the beginning's corrupted, and usually when you see it they divide the words all wrong. It used to be Cicero, now it's just garble.

Totally random, but...is that a Moomintroll in your icon?

[lotusbiosm]

It's also the language that one of the characters in Something Rotten speaks.

Yes! Exactly what I was going to say. I love those books.
