I remember looking at the obfuscated C code submissions a decade ago at least and it had nothing to do with the coded posted by the OP.
I remember a submission where the code was of circle created with underscores in a main body. This was done with a few macros. The thing would compile and spit out Pi with an very long precision (maybe infinite). This was really obscure :) Others looked like binary files displayed in ascii. Beurk...
