    This one’s easy for a publishing guy like myself. I never tried to memorize it all, but I know the first five words–“Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet.” It’s the pseudo Latin text used as nonsense filler when designing a page for which the actual text is not yet available. It’s actually a slightly jumbled version of something Cicero did.

    While I typed in the above without looking elsewhere for info, I can’t help myself–here’s a link to a Straight Dope column about lorem ipsum.
