It was probably written in advance as the website was being set up.

So we use a web plugin to make our posts. We had a bunch of placeholder posts while we were designing the website and it looks like our webmaster just edited the joke posts instead of deleting and making new posts. I was worried that you'd somehow see our joke posts*.

*It was mainly lawlcats and random meme images online with placeholder text.

Ooh, have you ever tried Bacon Ipsum? http://baconipsum.com/ It's pretty much just lorem ipsum but with random words replaced with meat.

Totally practical! I used it in a project for school and it made my class and teacher laugh. (I'm a web design major.)

(computer science major) Just cuz you get a teacher's good side, doesn't give you the higher edge :P

That aside, my entire point is that filler text doesnt need to make sense if it really doesn't have a purpose other than to be filler :P
