The fast inverse square root code is full of awesome easter eggs

Basically post really funny tidbits of code that have been made as (most likely) jokes or easter eggs (but not the kind of easter egg that adds more functionality).

Here's got to be my favourite so far:

...
def BAR():
    return 0xDEADBEEF
...

/* 50:72:6f:50:75:6b:65:20:69:73:20:61:77:65:73:6f:6d:65 */

At the end of the JavaScript file responsible for the map code, there's a comment “/* 50:72:6f:50:75:6b:65:20:69:73:20:61:77:65:73:6f:6d:65 */”. Interpreted as hex codes for ASCII text, this reads “ProPuke is awesome”. Interesting. Google tells me that ProPuke is the handle of a programmer from the UK. This morning, on his twitter feed, he posted “57:68:79:2c:20:74:68:61:6e:6b:20:79:6f:75:21”. This translates from hex as “Why, thank you!” Also, his Wikipedia user page tells us a lot about him too. I wonder if he contributed to the code?

//sometimes I thing the compiler ignores all my comments

I once saw a programmer comment everything on his code, and I mean EVERYTHING

return 0; //returns 0

In the code for xkcd #1110, there's a cool little easter egg.

It shows up towards the bottom of d28668.js, and says the following:

/* 50:72:6f:50:75:6b:65:20:69:73:20:61:77:65:73:6f:6d:65 */

Hillarious, right?

No.

Anyway, I actually came across this myself, but had no idea what it meant. So I googled “50:72:6f:50:75:6b:65:20:69:73:20:61:77:65:73:6f:6d:65” and found this page, which says the following:

… Hillarious, right?

Totally! Well, I sure will Inspect Element more often after this! Anyone going to code a userscript that could find potential easter eggs?

1. Find constants (but not strings, so numbers, booleans, etc.) with English words in them.
   
2. Find comments without English words in them.
