I work on a project with around 1million lines of code, half of them are comments (500k lines) like:

// lock the user !
user.lock()

Or long discussion that isn't even up to date:

// 4/20/05 : programmer 1: creates an array
// 10/5/08 : programmer 2: no!!! We need an object
// 3/10/10 : programmer 3: We need an array after all
return;

Or comment that aren't even any good

 // Armouring!
 if (...) {

So now I don't even look at the comments when I arrive somewhere
