what's this mean? | It's meant to be entertaining ... In short, it's just rubbish. 
I wonder if some of the inspiration comes from people playing too many versions of Nethack. In that game (which is more than just a game) you can pick up 'fortune cookies' which offer you words of wisdom. It's geek humour.
