Is it a Cisco router? In which case:

Although that doesn't really say a lot I know, but maybe your router was made by some people who just wanted to have a laugh and put wierd things in the logs :-S

Sorry, I was a little unclear. This is a linux box acting as a router, and I'm the one who built it.

This raises some VERY interesting questions. Was I hacked? I cannot explain these interesting log reports any other way. And the output was in dmesg, not syslog.
