A semi-relevant thought:

It would be interesting to consider the man who shot the man who shot the man who shot Lincoln. However, there is probably no such person, since (the man who shot)^2 Lincoln, was -- so far as we know -- not shot.

Therefore, I pose the following challenge to any & all interested parties: find the longest such chain that you can.
