Not the shortest one but funny:)

public static bool IsNotEmpty(string value)
{
    return !IsEmpty(value);
}

public static bool IsEmpty(string value)
{
    return !IsNotEmpty(value);
}

public static void Main()
{
    bool empty = IsEmpty("Hello World");
}

Run this code (recursion): 

f () {
       f();
    }

I always use this code (because it is harder to detect) :-(

private int _num;
public int Num {
   get { return Num; }
   set { _num = value; }
}

public int Method(int i)
{
  return i + Method(i + 1);
}

I think this should work. In general, any recursion that doesn't terminate.
