Quis loqua latina? Translation needed

So when you post a status update, you get this image button, which opens a window, which has a field called "preview" which contains the following text:

Spoiler

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas feugiat consequat diam. Maecenas metus. Vivamus diam purus, cursus a, commodo non, facilisis vitae, nulla. Aenean dictum lacinia tortor. Nunc iaculis, nibh non iaculis aliquam, orci felis euismod neque, sed ornare massa mauris sed velit. Nulla pretium mi et risus. Fusce mi pede, tempor id, cursus ac, ullamcorper nec, enim. Sed tortor. Curabitur molestie. Duis velit augue, condimentum at, ultrices a, luctus ut, orci. Donec pellentesque egestas eros. Integer cursus, augue in cursus faucibus, eros pede bibendum sem, in tempus tellus justo quis ligula. Etiam eget tortor. Vestibulum rutrum, est ut placerat elementum, lectus nisl aliquam velit, tempor aliquam eros nunc nonummy metus. In eros metus, gravida a, gravida sed, lobortis id, turpis. Ut ultrices, ipsum at venenatis fringilla, sem nulla lacinia tellus, eget aliquet turpis mauris non enim. Nam turpis. Suspendisse lacinia. Curabitur ac tortor ut ipsum egestas elementum. Nunc imperdiet gravida mauris.

Do not read it out loud in case it is a demonic formula of summoning shadow hands or something.

Who knows what it could mean? It mentions time and life and "tortor" which might be a misspelling of "torpor", which means "numb". I'm scared, does "cursus" mean that I'm now possessed by evil spirits? Call the exorcist for safe measure! I could really do with a dragoman right now.

"Lorem ipsum..." is just standard placeholder text. 

 

Suuuure. That is definitely what is going on.

dolor is pain, grief, sorrow

cursus means course, direction, run

tellus means earth, ground

luctus means sadness

lacinia means strips, rags, pieces

Sounds placeholder-y to me, yep.

Etiam ac sem ac justo maximus egestas. Ut et diam fringilla diam mollis convallis. Vivamus sed orci non orci ornare posuere. Donec hendrerit tellus felis, eu efficitur nibh dignissim a. Nunc at diam sed lectus aliquam pulvinar. Fusce lobortis congue est, eget finibus elit vestibulum in. Aenean finibus eleifend rutrum. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Cras ac libero pellentesque dui condimentum facilisis dictum vitae magna.

I will find out what this means, and if it takes twenty Wikipedia-searches!

Took you long enough to edit the wikipedia page. Here's the actual translation:

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great darkness. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to bond with a shadow that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant strength?

This perfectly describes Maxwell's stage magician business, it might be about Charlie though. We're onto something!

This thread opened my eyes.

And showed me, Mobbstar, you truly aren't "ridiclious".

RIP ridiclious member title. 2015 - 2016.

Being taken to the DS world may not seem so bad if I can escape responsibility. Just grant me the power of Dragon Mage and I should be fine.
