I likes!
Twitter feed and everything, too :) I also like seeing how rusty my Latin has now got when I see the lorem ipsum. There was a time I knew 25 words for "death" in Latin!

Not being able to make sense of lorem ipsum is no big deal
given that it is, and is supposed to be, gibberish.

Based on Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, it's been used by typesetters for centuries. However, had realtext been used, their dummies might have been mistaken for the real thing - so they used this standard nonsense.

That makes far more sense.
I think I like being able to find random words I used to use a lot :) can still remember bits, and mostly rude Catullus poems at that!
