Sounds like something I could've read in a story about future and bizarre football.

There are actually 19 of them. The other seven are hoaxes with different levels of believability.

No, they just carry all the charge and sync cables for a big collection of iPods, iPhones, their accessories and Newton MessagePad.

They are even named "mama", "grandpa" not unlike the "Family" from 451.

Or sometimes you will turn on the computer and everything works perfectly fine EXCEPT at the minimum possible speed (>1GHz).

Every time I see Trump's speeches about "Once Great America", I genuinely wonder when exactly America was great from his perspective? What period does he talk about? What makes that period great?
It's not even a jab at him and his information delivery. It's a serious question.

Are you sure you will have access to the contents of executable file? I'm pretty tired right now and may misremember something, but sandboxing can be pretty brutal at times.

I still remember 96kb .kkrieger demo that was spending a few minutes unpacking/generating resources before launching the 3d shooter.

Linux ELF format also has support for sections, including read only data ones. Won't recommend dealing with that though.
IMHO it would've been easier to have any number of files (or one), with the final executable being a self-extracting archive with actual program launching after extraction.

Resources are made specifically for non-program data and their inclusion shouldn't trigger antivirus. Just appending some stuff after the chunks described in .exe header looks somewhat suspicious though.
If you are using .NET, it should also use PE format (if nothing changed in the recent years).

As far as I remember, Windows executable format (PE) supports "resources" — addressable data chunks (like icons).
There are predefined resource types, including "binary" where you can put whatever you want. You can also specify your own types.

"Happens in parallel universes" feels kind of like "god did it: science edition" because there's no way to check it.
AFAIK, that's one of the problems with string theory: absence of desired experiment results don't indicate failure; they may be present in a parallel universe. No way to check though
