Is it possible to get a Type reference to the currently executing type from
a Static method?

public class foo
{
  public string static FooM()
  {
       Type x = ????
       return "Crap";
  }
}
public class foo2
{
   public string Something() { return "x"; }
}

then if calling Foo2.Foom() is it possible to figure out that the current
type is FooM?

No, because it's not. A call to Foo2.Foom() will actually be compiled
to Foo.Foom().
