He's basically written a program with a globe in, which outputs a program that has the globe rotated 45 degrees, which in turn outputs a program with it rotated a further 45 degrees, and so on until you get one that outputs the original program.

Ever seen anything even close to that in sheer pointless nerdosity?

EDIT: I fixed the damn link you whiners.

he will die a virgin
sounds pretty useless but as an academic exercise it will have uber-geeks excited

It's like those blokes who spend years building scale models of famous buildings out of matchsticks
except not as useful.

You've either killed the board
or everyone is so flabbergasted by your link that they have had to have a strong cup of tea and a nice biscuit before they could even consider posting something.

Bourbon anyone? Custard Creme?
