Q:

jQuery - append a same thing twice

I wan to append a same thing twice.  but my code only append once:
var target = $('#anID');
var object = target.children('li:last-child').clone();    
$(target).append(object).append(object);

tried this too:
$(target).append(object);
$(target).append(object);

also tried:
object.appendTo(target);
object.appendTo(target);

but none of them are appending object twice

A:

This also works:
object.appendTo(target).clone().appendTo(target);
