best bit of IOCCC code ever... only runs on certain machines, though:

short main[] = {
	277, 04735, -4129, 25, 0, 477, 1019, 0xbef, 0, 12800,
	-113, 21119, 0x52d7, -1006, -7151, 0, 0x4bc, 020004,
	14880, 10541, 2056, 04010, 4548, 3044, -6716, 0x9,
	4407, 6, 5568, 1, -30460, 0, 0x9, 5570, 512, -30419,
	0x7e82, 0760, 6, 0, 4, 02400, 15, 0, 4, 1280, 4, 0,
	4, 0, 0, 0, 0x8, 0, 4, 0, ',', 0, 12, 0, 4, 0, '#',
	0, 020, 0, 4, 0, 30, 0, 026, 0, 0x6176, 120, 25712,
	'p', 072163, 'r', 29303, 29801, 'e'
};

this is from the first IOCCC competition in 1984
