Poetic code comments

In one of my previous projects someone pointed out certain code comments to me. Here's a choice excerpt:

/*
* Sweet are the uses of VS 2003 [1],
* Which, like the assembly code, ugly and venomous,
* Wears yet a precious script in his folder;
* And this our life, exempt from public access,
* Finds strings in hash trees, bugs in the running servers,
* Services in asmx senders, and good in everything
* - As You Like It, Act II, Scene 1
*
* [1] - I know this isn't VS 2003, and is VS 2005, but VS 2003 rhymes with adversity.
*/

Funny thing is, I know the author and there are other hilarious comments from him. Good to know that the maintenance team will actually look forward to digging through the codebase. His compiled work should definitely be posted to The Daily WTF.
