What are some common practices you have seen used in the design by obfuscation crowd? I find it interesting to be on projects that are not allowed to be rewritten while, that would be the faster and most efficient solution to the problem.

My favorites always revolve around variables…leaving ones in the code that are no longer used, then giving them all meaningless names. Of course, you have to be careful to avoid nearly all convention if you really want to obfuscate. So, a perfect one would be to have two similarly used variables, one named myVar1, and another named myVarOne. Stuff like that…
Another one is to include un-used controls that are only visible within the code. I stared at one ASP.NET site for a good hour trying to figure out why a FormView was dropped into it..(there was no answer to that).
