We all know that the InDesign application object is its own parent, but can anyone identify another object that can be its own parent?

I stumbled on this by accident the other day.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about an object of a similar kind being the parent, for example, a rectangle can contain some other rectangle, I'm talking about an object which is its own parent.

Hint: even though what I've said is true, if you happen to pass one of these objects to the findPage/findWhere functions we've been playing with lately, you'll not be dumped into an endless loop. [Huh! How is that possible?]
