What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Where does it come from? Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. 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. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Comedian Benny Elbows kept the crowd laughing for over 40 hours during longest stand-up
At 6 a.m. on a Monday last April, comedian Benny Elbows took to the stage in front of a sleepy crowd in Memphis, Tennessee, and told them about the first time he performed a joke that bombed. Apparently at the time, he was just accompanying a friend to an Open-Mic night, but something about the awkward experience was exhilarating – and afterwards he started performing more regularly. He said it took six months for someone to finally laugh at the joke, but: “I’ve been chasing that high ever since.” Benny smiling and performing 40 hours after he told that first anecdote, Benny was surrounded by a lively room of loud and enthusiastic fans… who came to see that very same novice comedian from years ago collect a new comedy world record. To cheers of “BENNY! BENNY! BENNY!” and wild applause, Benny Elbows (USA) finished performing the longest stand-up comedy show by an individual after an exhausting and entertaining 40 hr 16 min 48 sec set that covered topics from Santa Claus to Yo Mama jokes in front of a rotating audience. The experience at the Hi Tone Cafe in Memphis was “a blast” for the comedian, who was inspired to take on the record after participating in the longest stand-up comedy show - multiple comedians in Nashville in 2015. Before the event, Benny had lots to prepare before he took the stage – he told local news Memphis 5: “Oh yeah. I’ve been doing all sorts of montages, you know, like chin ups, ‘Rocky,’ ‘Eye of the Tiger’ playing. I’m doing push-ups.” He prepared a Word document with over 16,000 words and 26 pages of material, while also preparing bits he could use for crowd-work, such as having audience members write him questions about anything from hostage negotiations to relationships.
