Ask HN: Historically Important Code Snippets?

Hey HN,

I've been teaching an artist friend of mine how to code. She's been loving it and recently has started to incorporate programming concepts into her other art. She's planning on doing a series of paintings that incorporate code snippets.

Here's an early example: http://i.imgur.com/itPcm.jpg

I showed her Quake III's Fast InvSqrt() (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root#Overview_of_the_code). Do you have any other other interesting, important, historically significant, or just plain quirky code snippets?
