What happens if you plug a UPS into itself?

I plugged the 'ole UPS power cord into it's own outlet and the charging lights came on. It was quite amusing. Can damage occur?

Well, assuming there was no circuitry in it to prevent it from doing anything at all, it would have no choice but to drain itself slowly.

If you could only find a UPS with better than 100% effeciency, you could achieve free energy.
