I was looking through the Invisible Inc files and found this among a bunch of strings and a couple of scrapped/unreleased features I'd rather not spoil for you.

STR_3726027446 = [[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.

Which was followed by this:

STR_3513715951 = [[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequa]],

As well as this:

STR_1824230609 = [[Drones. They kick ass. They will repair your face. Don't think they won't. So, yeah. You bin served. By Drones!]],    STR_1268551835 = [[DRONES]],    STR_1824230609 = [[Drones. They kick ass. They will repair your face. Don't think they won't. So, yeah. You bin served. By Drones!]],    STR_1268551835 = [[DRONES]],    STR_1824230609 = [[Drones. They kick ass. They will repair your face. Don't think they won't. So, yeah. You bin served. By Drones!]],    STR_1268551835 = [[DRONES]],    STR_1824230609 = [[Drones. They kick ass. They will repair your face. Don't think they won't. So, yeah. You bin served. By Drones!]],

The last one probably doesn't mean anything, but the first two are a bit weird. A puzzle, mayhaps?

EDIT: I looked up lorem ipsum and apparently the English string was copy/pasted directly from http://lipsum.com/. It's a puzzle.

Naaw it's not a puzzle. Lorem Ipsum is just a quick easy way to make sure your text box will look okay, without having to think up text to put in it. Programmers and web designers use it all the time. Not that hard to imagine that the programmers put it in there to test stuff and left it so they don't have to keep putting it back in to test other stuff.

The drone thing is funny but I doubt it's "for" anything.

Still seems weird to put an entire description for it in the strings.

Yeah, it was just something I wanted to mention. Pretty much the rest of the text file had random stuff like that.
