Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has its roots in a classic piece of Latin literature dating back to 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, discovered one of the more obscure Latin words, "consecteur", in a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through different Latin texts, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finnibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on ethical theory, popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32
