Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.

Unlike what many think, Lorem Ipsum isn't just meaningless text. Its origins trace back to a work of classical Latin literature written in 45 BC, making it more than two millennia old."
