weird :eek:

:) Lorem Ipsum, is a text which is used to fill the text areas from a web site, that is in a development process...

For example, when you are creating a sample layout design and you need to fill the space for text, to have a more complete view of the design, usually web designers are using this “Lorem Ipsum” text…

I don't know why exactly this text got such a popularity, but it is used for this purpose.:)

Quite amazing to think that text transcended 500 years of technological evolution and is still used today as sample content on websites.

Hey, bad spelling has been around longer than the English Language, and we still have our muneepenees!

[crazycoder]

The whole language has been shortened just so we can type it faster.

If you hold it up to a mirror, you'll see that it's all a very elaborate, secret plot by hotdog vendors, to take over the world.

You also use a piece of equipment on your computer that was invented over 100 years ago - the QWERTY keyboard was invented in 1878. (Some interesting history. (http://home.earthlink.net/~dcrehr/whyqwert.html))

I don't know why exactly this text got such a popularity, but it is used for this purpose.It has roughly the same distribution of letters that most languages in the same alphabet do, so it doesn't look too wierd so it isn't a distraction when you're trying to display some design.
I occasionally use lyrics or old stories, but that's just because I like to be different.

"Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
