no? me neither. i had no clue about this amazing fact. all of us advertising guru's are very familiar with Lorem Ipsum when it comes to placing "greek" copy into a layout for initial layout review and such. so, when i came across this fact i was like...OMG. i have to blog about it.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
there's even more detail as to where does it come from? why do we use it? where can i get some? check out this link if you want more details http://www.lipsum.com/.
