But I could be wrong.

You are sort of on the right track here. The people on the net back in the day just jabbed away at the keyboard which caused jacked up typos. Of course, this sloppiness also caused people to smack the shift key every now and again which caused the toggle type. It was like making mistakes but not caring. If anything, it was tres cool to have loads of typos and togglespeak etc.
Anyway, people who type in leet tend to intentionally and unintentionally spell things incorrectly. One of those was that the word "the" commonly appeared as the typo "teh". It happened so often it became convention. So, wherever valkyrie got the picture from, either *that* guy used the leet convention or he just made an amusing typo. Either way, I was just pointing out that it happens to be leet.
Believe me, I had sooooooooo many "k-spiff" friends who were leet and all that jazz.....I even went to prom with a hacker.
Nonetheless, teh pills picture is very funny!
