It is your personal message from the Illuminati. Follow the instructions as best as you can.

Or you can ignore it . . . but remember that it was your choice to do so.

Google "FNORD" for more details.

Close, but it's actually a cryptid one.

Man, I love multi-lingual puns. Thanks, Rev. (And those who don't get it, see the Fnorded section below.)

A cryptid is a creature who people believe exists, but lacks any scientific support, such as the Loch Ness Monster. Since the Illuminati inspire a lot of belief, but leave no evidence .... ;-)

Even more to the point, the message looks like it's significant, but has no real substance. Hence, cryptid.

To actually ANSWER the OP's question, the "message from the Illuminati" is a randomly generated message from a database of possible elements. It's just for fun.

Yeah!

Right!

And if you believe THAT, I've got a little something called the "Eiffel Tower" for sale over here!

This is the kind of in-joke that's only funny on the inside. The poster was obviously confused, and it's an unkindness to continue the joke under those circumstances.
