When you Create a Role it is Granted to you Automatically

I noticed recently that, when you create a role, it is automatically granted to you with the admin option. You can see what I mean in the example below, which I tested in Oracle 11.2:
 
SQL> conn andrew/reid
Connected.
SQL> create role blah
  2  /
 
Role created.
 
SQL> select grantee, admin_option
  2  from dba_role_privs
  3  where granted_role = 'BLAH'
  4  /
 
GRANTEE                        ADMIN_OPTION
------------------------------ ------------
ANDREW                         YES
 
SQL>
