title: Writing jquery static util methods
body: <p>I understand the concept of extending the jquery.fn to place your custom functions on the prototype chain of a jquery object, but in my case some of my utils don't need to be attached to a selector.
  I'm basically looking for a static method. So I wanted to know of any pitfalls of writing static methods directly on the jquery object as util methods.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jquery.myMethod = function(arg){
     ......
  } 
  
  $.myMethod("blabla");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
