My new favorite scrabble word is quine. A quine is a program that can print it's own source code. Here is a basic one I wrote just now: 

#include <stdio.h>



char *str = "#include <stdio.h>%c%cchar *str = %c%s%c;%c%cint main(void) {%c%cprintf(str, 10, 10, 34, str, 34, 10, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10);%c}%c";



int main(void) {

    printf(str, 10, 10, 34, str, 34, 10, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10);

}


This is just about the most awesome thing I've seen all week.
