If you’ve ever looked through a template site you may have noticed the words Lorem Ipsum
I know I have, and today was the day to find the meaning.
I thought it might be Latin for template site or maybe up your nose with a rubber hose.
This is the meaning, and it’s very interesting.
Just another bit of trivia brought to you by Frances who loves things like this.

Hey cool, I DID always wonder about that. I hope you don’t mind but I linked to that page in my Monday Linkage post today. I also linked to you though as telling me of the page. Thanks.

Hello Frances. Thank you for visiting my blog. I am looking forward for your “return”. I glanced a bit on yours and like very much what I saw. Which means that I will be returning to yours too.
Have a wonderful day

Thanks for that bit of trivia! I stumbled upon your blog awhile back…I visited NYC for the first time in May and fell in love…I enjoy coming here and looking at your beautiful pictures of the city!

I’m fawning over this post already. I’m total random fact geek. Love ‘em. I wish I used the more often, especially in my standup comedy. But sometimes I feel pressured to dumb down my jokes for the “average audience member.” Random facts sometimes leave them alienated.
Anyway, yesterday I was reminded of my random fact geek status when someone called me a “Snapple Top”–in reference to the random facts that are offered up underneath the Snapple Top. I’m not sure if I should feel honored or chagrin. I’ll consider it a compliment, for now.
