Years ago I found and bought fora friend “The Nothing Record Album” - a 12" 33 1/3 RPM LP, with a full 20-ish minutes a side of nothing recorded on it. Except of course the quiet hiss of a vinyl record.

I have the same sort of album, titled “Greatest Hits of Marcel Marceau” Each side consisted of 19 min of silence followed by 1 min of applause.

Self-referential objects. A quantum physicist might say that no such things exist.

A turner of phrases quite pleasin’,
Had a penchant for trickery and teasin’,
In his songs, the last line
Might seem sans design
That is, without why or wherefore.

Have you tried running it at 45? The results are hilarious.

Does the collection of self-referential objects include itself?

I was going to start a collection of non-self-referential objects, but didn’t know whether the collection of non-self-referential objects should be part of the collection or not.
