Lucy, one of the betas says:

It isn't actually Latin, but a bastardized version of a passage from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum," written in 45 B.C. It translates to "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain...."

Original: "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit...."

Dummy text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...."
