1 = L
3 = E
3 = E
7 = T
Understand now?

And I guess Leet means Elite, just spelled different.

1337 is a sorta online language which replaces letters with numbers and symbols that look like the letters. It's called "elite" because you gotta learn it and it takes a bit of skill to read it fast, like during a multiplayer FPS. There is no set standard.

For example:

A=4
E=3
I=!
O=0
U=|_|

I know its meaning, I even look up the dictionary to make sure, its rich,, gifted, and intelligent, and I don't see why its funny.

It's lame 'hacker'-speak that people started doing online quite a while ago. Think of it as geek ebonics. Some people actually think they're cool when they talk (or type rather) like that. There's all kinds of variations: c00l, kewl, k00l, k3wl, d00d, d00dz, etc.

When I used to use BBSes (before the Internet was big; circa 1990), 'elite' status was used to refer to users who had special access to the hidden warez portion of the BBS. When I started using the Internet, I found 'elite' had been mangled to leet, then became l33t, and was used more as a put-down toward people who were new and didn't know much (in IRC at least). It's mainly used now in a jokingly and/or sarcastic sense.
