Because the event loop calls it again and again. You can try something like 
that yourself in the code with a Timer: you create a timer with a short delay 
(e.g. 100 ms), and in the Timer event handler, you call WAIT with a big delay 
(1 second). Then, stop the project in the IDE, and look at the stack.
