I believe it dates back to 19th Century Egypt during the rule of the
feared King Muhutmatan (the one that had those pointy things built).
Although its true meaning is yet to be deciphered, it can be roughly
translated as: "Screw cats! In hindsight (hindsight is in the
subjunctive transitive here: "---)@ 5 X") penguins are much more
awesome!".

Seriously though, I think it is a PGP key ("Pretty Good Privacy"), but
I'm not really sure.
