Self Modifying Code

A technique so advanced and powerful that only the very best of the best EXPERT PROGRAMMERS can understand and only partially exploit its power. It is so powerful, infinitely more so than goto, that Dijkstra would turn over in his grave at the very mention of it. To use an old analogy, self-modifying code not only makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot, but also end the universe along with it. It is in the realm of the programming gods, for with it one may even be able to write programs that achieve sentience.

"Self Modifying Code" is trivial...
