Meta-quines

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

A quine is a program that outputs its own source code, but can you create a 2 quine, a pair of programs that output each other with an A->B->A->B cycle? What about between different languages? Can you gzip your own source code? Is there a structured way to do this with theory? All these questions will be somewhat answered, in ways that will make your head hurt... math-a-magical demos and over 9000 layers of meta-ness await!
