Just that the "uptime" is 1337 hours, which is a cool number and a loooooong time.

For the non geeks:
1337 is 'leet' if you substitute letters for numbers.
Leet is short for 'elite' and is used to indicate either high level of skill (in coding, hacking, cracking, ...) or a powerfull (and expensive) piece of machinery.
Pics or occurrences of certain numbers are considered funny or cool. 1337 is one of them.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Huh? That "leet" clock shows 1927 hours or 0722 if the caption can't be believed. Where are we, the slow, supposed to find this magical number in the illustration?
