Top funny source code comments « deconectat (deconectat.wordpress.com)

Long ago I had to maintain someone else's 250,000 line C program. It contained a single comment:

   /* bad code */

I never found out if this was a description of what followed or an admonishment to the code itself.

     /* bad coder */

Code comments are my guilty pleasure. Like texts from last night for nerds. I don't care if they're fake, they're entertaining to me. But I desperately hope deep down some of them are real. Like Santa.

Dont wanna spoil the party, but these are all taken from the famous StackOverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/184618/what-is-the-best-c...

At least some attribution should be given. (The link "via cobaia" is a 404).

Best one I ever came across was:

/* Here at this very place, you will discover that reality is but an illusion, that the box does not exist and the cat never lived. */

IIRC it was doing something with /dev/null

Talk about expletives in Source Code. Ha Ha! http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/xslt/t...

Perhaps mozilla's code base can be analysed for usage of commit styles ;)
