Beautiful Quine

Found this via StackOverflow. The following piece of code is a Quine, and it's amazing:

eval(z='p="<"+"pre>"/* ,.oq#+     ,._, */;for(y in n="zw24l6k\
4e3t4jnt4qj24xh2 x/* =<,m#F^    A W###q. */42kty24wrt413n243n\

r24".split(4)){/* dP      cpq#q##########b, */for(a in t=pars\
eInt(n[y],36)+/*         p##@###YG=[#######y */(e=x=r=[]))for\
(r=!r,i=0;t[a/*         d#qg `*PWo##q#######D */]>i;i+=.05)wi\

A Quine is a piece of code which when evaluated yields its own source code. It's basically a geeky exercise in self-replicating code. Some Quines create a chain of Quines; that is they evaluate to a different piece of code which itself evaluates to yet another piece of code, and so on, until you get back to the initial code. The above Quine is such a chain with an interesting feature: it creates an animation of a spinning globe. Check out the original for full effect.
