libc.so, dynamic and executable?

Well, the list said any question....

I am curious if anyone can explain how glibc manages the trick of being both a 
executable binary and a loadable module at the same time? I was under the 
impression that dlopen didn't work on anything that could run on it's own.

Thanks.
