    Post The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

    Does anyone know any history associated with the saying? I know it pops up in wierd places.

    for instance open MS Word, on a new line type:

    =rand(34,56)
    then hit enter


    You can substitute any numbers you want (X,Y) It will do X "paragraphs" of Y "sentences"

    It's a favourite among people learning to type as it uses every letter in the alphabet.

    Oh ok, that makes sense. I was hoping there was something more to it, but oh well.
