| 13 | BODY: |

| 14 | Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots |
|---|
| 15 | in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years |
|---|
| 16 | old. |

| 19 | EXTENDED BODY: |
|---|
| 20 | Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in |
|---|
| 21 | Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a |
|---|
| 22 | Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical |
|---|
| 23 | literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections |
|---|
| 24 | 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and |
|---|
| 25 | Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of |
|---|
| 26 | ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, |
|---|
| 27 | "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. |
