Scripter Humor

I have been reading other scripts with the intent of plagiarizing becoming inspired by other GMs/scripters' works.

Scripters will often add comments within their code as to describe what task/role the section of code performs.  I was interested in how other GMs have handled math problems (like calculating the average size of a mobile), and while researching that subject I was entertained by some amusing one liners.  Or in some cases, multi-liners.

    // Initialize it, cap'n!
   
    //    This is a public file.

    //    Everyone is welcome, nay encouraged,
    //    to use it and add to it.   
   
    // OK, dumkopf. You use it, you lose it.
       
    // All the nifty display poo goes here

    /*
    **    utilities for manipulating the [player]'s store-string
    **    err, I mean the data-string
    **    no, wait, make that the thing-string
    */


And my personal favorite:

    **    **Warning** this code is god-like and perfect.
    **    When we work on it choirs of angels
    **    gather around and sing. Mortals must keep out.
    **    This code is so blindingly beautiful
    **    that your eyes will melt if you look at it.
