A few years back I worked on a project (by myself!) where I inherited an epic codebase that was basically the Enterprise Fizzbuzz application scaled up to ~30 person years of effort - it had tens of thousands of classes and a seeming desire to use every known feature of Enterprise Java and every Design Pattern - actually finding where stuff actually happened in the haystack of abstractions was quite entertaining.

NB I have a strange definition of "entertaining" in a work context - I was contracting at the time.
