Re:Remove this in production

Two of my favorites from Google code I used to work on (one that I wrote myself, and one that I ended up reviewing) were:
"I am going to hell for this."
"If this is not removed by xx-xx-2008, beat me over the head with a shovel." (Seen and removed in 2010.)
Heh, those are two rarer phrases:
1. "I am going to hell for this": https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22i+am+going+to+...
2. "Beat me over the head with a shovel": https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22beat+me+over+t...
Was an image of a shovel emailed to the committer? :)
"Why does this work?": https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22why+does+this+...
My personal favorite that I've used on occasion: "I am a horrible monster and I pray for death".

"abandon all hope": https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22abandon+all+ho...

I once encountered the following helpful comment in some (dys)functional code, next to a particularly inscrutable car crash of lambdas:
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
7,463 code results for 'fhtagn'. Probably best not to look.
The strangest hit for me was this bit of C#:
this.IsEvil = isEvil;
screen.Souls.Add(new Soul(screen, new Vector2(position.X+texture.Width/2-Global.Textures["soul"].Width/2, position.Y), this.IsEvil));That indeed looks like some dark magic.

Scraped all from the page. http://gitoops.xyz/
You should have milked it for all it's worth and submitted separate posts for all these links!
"Let's not do that": https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22Let%27s+not+do... :)
Though it's definitely fun when things like this emerge and people share stories.
We've got another one: "No idea" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11399852
