I was searching for something on StackOverflow and found this off-topic thread on comments.
A few gems:
Exception up = new Exception("Something is really wrong.");
throw up; //ha ha
//When I wrote this, only God and I understood what I was doing
//Now, God only knows

// Dear maintainer:
//
// Once you are done trying to 'optimize' this routine,
// and have realized what a terrible mistake that was,
// please increment the following counter as a warning
// to the next guy:

// total_hours_wasted_here = 42

//Mr. Compiler, please do not read this.
// I dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife, Darlene, who will
// have to support me and our three children and the dog once it gets
// released into the public.
// drunk, fix later
// Magic. Do not touch.
return 1; # returns 1
// If I from the future read this I'll back in time and kill myself.
double penetration; // ouch
/////////////////////////////////////// this is a well commented line
// I am not sure if we need this, but too scared to delete.
// I am not responsible of this code.
// They made me write it, against my will.

} catch (PartInitException pie) {
// Mmm... pie
}
// John! If you'll svn remove this once more,
// I'll shut you, for God's sake!
// That piece of code is not “something strange”!
// That is THE AUTH VALIDATION.
try {
}
catch (SQLException ex) {
// Basically, without saying too much, you're screwed. Royally and totally.
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//If you thought you were screwed before, boy have I news for you!!!
}
// Catching exceptions is for communists
// If you're reading this, that means you have been put in charge of my previous project.
// I am so, so sorry for you. God speed.
