Ha! Its easy to understand recursion when you understand recursion!
It would have been funnier if instead of just being a link to itself, it used a little java to make your history nest, so you could back all of the way back out of it with the back button.

Yes. But his example is not very typical. Most of the time one employs recursion to solve a problem using simpler versions of itself. He just used the same version.
Though one could argue that a REPL in e.g. Scheme works this way.
