Have you ever browsed a template and saw a text that said something along the lines of Lorem Ipsum or maybe a full paragraph version like

Quote

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nullam malesuada vulputate neque. Aliquam id augue a purus vulputate laoreet. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Duis et odio convallis leo porttitor vehicula. Nulla facilisi. Etiam sit amet lacus ac libero pellentesque pulvinar. Etiam condimentum nulla quis eros. Phasellus felis dui, adipiscing quis, suscipit quis, elementum eget, risus. Vestibulum imperdiet volutpat nibh. Maecenas diam. Etiam enim. Proin ac diam.

There is actually a whole history on it.. People have been using this text on their "web templates" for 5 centuries.
I never understood why people typed that on their template. My theories were "hmmm.. This must be their second language."
But no its more intact then that

There is a whole website on it here
Lorem Ipsum - All the facts - Lipsum generator
If you are make templates or anything with design that may carry alot of text on it,
you should really look at that website.. It is very interesting!

I also assumed it was another language until I googled it several months ago. I actually have the first sentence memorized.

Also the web has not been around for 5 centuries, so people could not have used it as text on "web templates" for that long. :P
