    . . . when archeologist dig up and unlock computer data from our time, they'll come across a significant number of instances of "Lorem ipsum dolor . . . ".   It will be found often enough to be deemed a very important tome and decades will be spent by hoards of scholars attempting to translate it. As we'll be well composted by then, I'll enjoy my laugh now.

    Actually, it's not that hard. "Lorem ipsum dolor . . . " - distorted version of Cicero book passage. It's Latin with deliberately made mistakes. :cool:

      "Fat" lot of good that will do! In fact, by comparison I prefer OG's connection to extinction.

        You'd think spellcheck or autocorrect would take care of that. ;)

          And no doubt will become the basis of a popular religion as it conveniently gets translated to a list of things common folk should never do. :sigh:

                Which will leave the scholars confounded, as other archeological research determined that technology was rapidly replacing spiritual beliefs, and yet there seems to be this "Lorem..." incantation used to a new god of technology. ;)

                        They will have a tough time deciphering this too :

                        #include

                        Perhaps this occurs a lot more times than Lorem ipsum.

                          They may, however, deduce from the remain construct over which it presides that it has some sort of reference to definitions as it is followed by (ultimately) mathematical-looking prose. The Lorem ipsum is in a paragraph form - as though it were conveying some information.

                                But they already know what that means, since it's been used in the printing industry for hundreds of years.
