Where does that random text come from? Now you know.

I was just working on a Pages document, I selected a template, and once it was selected, I noticed that that nice, junk-preview text was in place. You know, Lorem ipsum dolor etc, etc. I've noticed that this is used in most of Apple's software to show how text would look, and other programs too. I was just wondering why they use the same thing. It looked latin, so I tried to translate it, to no avail. I looked it up, and it actually has quite a history - been in use for over 5 centuries, comes from some latin text. Here's the facts:

Anyways, random fact for the day.
