non-heli question for MA

Dear Miniature Aircraft,

On your website, the background image is some text.



If it's not just gibberish... what language is it and what does it say?

[wolfdown]

It is latin, but I don't know what it says.

I like that...
"Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC..."
"... Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC."

Extremes of good and evil!
Maybe its a prayer to keep flying things from crashing into the earth!

we all have secrets right??? Actually it is just a background that our web designer used.

from a designer's perspective: most layout programs have a function called "greeking that will fill in all the text areas with sample text. i use it when i'm doing a new layout for a magazine, news letter, or newspaper design when i need to get approval prior to having copy.

of course, you can use it however you like...maybe their designer just liked the looks of it. but, the greeking function of desktop publishing applications has been around since the late 80s....which is why if you google "lorum ipsum" you'll get a BUNCH of hits.
