Read the docs for +[NSObject initialize]:

"If a particular class does not implement initialize, the initialize
method of its superclass is invoked twice, once for the superclass and
once for the non-implementing subclass. If you want to make sure that
your class performs class-specific initializations only once,
implement initialize as in the following example:"
