Tired of good old fashioned Lorem Ipsum as I am? Try Fillerati.Com. It’s a wonderful generator for filler text. Even though nowadays I prefer to fill my mockups with random quotes from Dostoyevsky’s Idiot in original language, but written in translit.

ha, lorem ipsum has huge advantage of being actually unreadable. idea of having dummy text readable is completely stupid – the whole point of LOREM, FUCKIN, IPSUM is to make you concentrate on the design and that u should nkot be distracted by reading the fucking edgar rice poem

Guys, see below. This is not my comment actually, I’ve found it on some other blog in a discussion about Fillerati. It’s pretty much sums all my thoughts:

To the lorem ipsum purists out there, congratulations on being a species I would have never thought to exist in the biological class Anal, genus Retentive.
Sometimes you need real text to give you a sense of what…um…well…REAL text looks like on your site. Here is a good reason lorem ipsum sucks:
Latin’s average word length is over 5.9 characters, while English is about 4.6. If you are targeting English, or other Romance languages with similar structures and cognates, lorem ipsum will not represent text your site will likely display as accurately as the source material from a source native to the targeted branch of languages.
There’s some empirical thoughts for you punkish comment trolls, how ’bout them apples?
