I know I have better things to do then blog about this, but Joseph's still napping, so . . .

I bought planner refill pages in Basel, Switzerland and they asked me to register online so that my planner could be restored to me if lost.  I did and chose Switzerland as my "language."  I found it a bit odd to be asked to select my language from a list of countries, but didn't think much of it until the next page greeted me with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet . . ."  Huh?  Sounds like Latin to me.  Later on it's in French, which makes more sense but there are more German-speaking Swiss than French-speaking Swiss.  Bizzare.

Just to prove I didn't make it up.

The Swiss are apparently insignificant enough to be unfinished... "Lorem ipsum" is a classic text filler to test layouts.

Standing out makes you a target, be you the U.S., China, or the curve-breaker on an exam. Insignificant can be good. :)
