Many people think that Lorem Ipsum is a pseudo-Latin set of words taken from the ceiling, but this is not entirely true.

Its roots go back to a single fragment of Classical Latin from A.D. 45, that is more than two millennia ago. Richard McClintock, a professor of Latin at Hampden-Sydney College, Virginia, took one of the strangest words in Lorem Ipsum, “consectetur”, and searched for it in classical Latin literature.
