Lipsum

If you ever see a bunch of Latin text starting out with "'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" it's not just random letters and words garbled together. It's actual text from The Extremes of Good and Evil by Cicero, a 45BC Latin treatese on ethics. It's dummy text used when designing something (like, a webpage, for instance). It helps you to focus on the layout instead of being distracted by reading the actual text. There's some good information, and a lipsum generator at lipsum.com.
