In crypto, you can dedicate a modest amount of computing power to get a "vanity address" -- hash enough wallet keys and you get an address that starts with 4 or 5 letters of your choosing.

This is basically the same thing for ssh keys... get something that vaguely looks like some shape you desire.

Neat!
