I went to change.gov, and on the top it asked for my email address and zip code. I only entered an email address and seem to have gotten a error message in Latin, any help here?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam sit amet neque consequat dui congue consequat. Morbi nonummy lobortis massa. Pellentesque a augue id velit viverra aliquam. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos.

[followed by the form with things I forgot to fill out hilighted, then]

Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Quisque iaculis, nulla id nonummy congue, sem felis commodo sem, eget posuere nunc massa et purus. Nam dolor magna, pretium et, aliquam id, dignissim sit amet, wisi.

Sven, that's a well-known bit of dummy text used as a placeholder by page designers. This page has a reasonably good explanation.
