Interesting kernel comments

source/include/linux/fs.h
196 #define MS_VERBOSE      32768   /* War is peace. Verbosity is silence. 
197 MS_VERBOSE is deprecated. */


source/include/linux/magic.h

037 #define NCP_SUPER_MAGIC         0x564c          /* Guess, what 0x564c is :-) */

It happens to be the hex representation of the initials of Volker Lendecke, who wrote the ncpfs support for the Linux kernel (only a kernel module at first, iirc). But basically, he's the one responsible. :-
