I can't believe this bizarre fact... No, I can't believe the devs of Linux wrote such stuff on the Kernel source:
Warning: Links show some swear-words and the statistics of how much they are found on the Kernels.

This history began from the following mail, some people claimed it was an urban legend(Also full of profanities):

At least the statistics show that they are dimishing slowly
Now why would someone write crap as comments on a source-code?

Microsoft sources aren't much better. They contain e.g. a lot of comments about insane code to circumvent something illogical.
But remember: They are comments. We do not yet discuss the code!

Crap is the only counted word increasing in number per line. I imagine this is because it is used mainlyas in "Who wrote this crap!", which will be used more the more bad code is written
