Looks like nonsense to me -- predictable symbol sequences and what's 
probably just crap generated by pounding on the home row keys.  Try it 
yourself, you'll probably come up with a few phrases like 'GJSDLK'.

Now, for real Crypto-newbie fun, run out to your local independent 
bookstore and pick up _The Code Book_ by Simon Singh.

Sorry there wasn't more to it.  :)
