title: Serialize JQuery Object to JSON - should this work?
body: <p>This should be simple, but I couldn't figure this out while debugging a grease monkey script. Can a JQuery object, such as a single element, be converted to JSON? 
  e.g. <code>JSON.stringify($("&lt;p /&gt;"))</code> I've gotten a cyclical reference errors.</p>
  
  <p>I've been experimenting here: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/q7ywV/2/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/q7ywV/2/</a> </p>
  
  <p>html</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt; whatever &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt; whatever2 &lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>js</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
    zoom = JSON.stringify($("p").eq(0));
    console.log(zoom);
  }
  catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
  }
  </code></pre>
