Maybe it's not Latin. DrS?
It seems to read a bit like a woo end of world batshit crazy type website. I wonder if it's been hacked by someone who is very bad at Latin.

Hi there
Its standard placeholder text which has been used by the printing industry for years. The site just isn't finished yet, I think.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum
Ahh cool. Now that I have learnt something new for the day I think I should be allowed to leave work early and go to the pub.

ETA: I now feel slightly silly for having emailed them asking why their site is in Latin

Have a look HERE
Me too. Hold on, I'm at the pub already! I live there! And today's a holiday anyway.
This Lorem Ipsum issue above gave me a good laughter
I first met it in a booklet translation I did some 5 years ago. Then I just thought that it is some Latin text to make the booklet and (more so) the company it was about look smart :)
I found out that it actually is a placeholder and means nothing only a few month ago.
You live and learn new things every day...
P.S.
Imagine scientists like thousands of years later in future having a debate over a rare document named Lorem Ipsum and its meaning (assuming there is no more Google :D )
So have we established whether skbuncks is going mad or not?
'Croydon' Bob Newman. The ladies call him "Thrush" - as he's an irritating cunt.
It was a close one. skbuncks was cured miraculously.
