How did "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" become the typical sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet and not "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" which is objectively a million times cooler

@LoganDice I love the German sentence "Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern" which translates to "Franz rushes through Bavaria crosswise in the completely run-down taxi"
