Tautologies.

'In an emergency, break window with hammer. To obtain hammer, break glass case using smaller hammer. To obtain smaller hammer, break glass case using even smaller hammer. To obtain even smaller hammer ....'

Also there are now comparison websites that compare different comparison websites.

Any other examples?

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
