What would be the meaning of the tshirt with these four lines?...

#s\>;
o>LJ?e6e1`
&mjGi
6TuLr4pU;?


On the second line that 1 might be an l instead.

I've seen similar T-shirts; the symbols usually refer to the UNIX "dc"
command (desk calculator) - for example, I have seen T-shirts with
what claims to be the code for RSA (usually, it turns out just to be
the code for raising one power to another, modulo a third number), in
what I assume was an attempt to make RSA "public domain" so it could
be used freely (the government wanted encryption like PGP made illegal
as encryption makes plotting crimes much easier). However, I can't
figure this one out (among other things, I don't rememebr # or ` being
valid symbols, and s is supposed to be followed by a letter.)
