This is actually a bizarre construction. What it's doing is setting a click event on every element in the jQuery object '$l' but then it's setting the scope of the event handler as the actual jQuery object. This results in running jQuery.fn.hide on all elements of the jQuery set when either of them is clicked. Not really practical, just some fun code.
