I ran across the following sentence in a tutorial today, and thought it was
hilarious.


"Avoid a recursive hierarchy where two or more objects try to trace each
other. Examples of recursion are obj1 > obj2 > obj1. Or obj1 > obj2 > obj3
> obj1. The outcome of such motions are unpredictable and likely to be Bad."



Well, ok -- that's clear enough! :)
