AP KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Hundreds of tiny tacos, ballerinas and other costumed dogs fell short of a world record Saturday morning in Kansas City, but organizers said they were encouraged by the turnout for the inaugural Cinco de Mayo Chihuahua parade.Mark Valentine, the president of the group that organized the parade, said 500 dogs showed up in costume 151; about 200 fewer than what was needed to break the Guinness Book world record. The event, organized by United Entertainment to benefit a local animal shelter, was open to any breed.Valentine estimated that 80 percent of the costumed canines were Chihuahuas

For a first try, we did OK. Valentine said he was told Chihuahuas were among the most common breeds in animal shelters. Saturday s event raised about $2,500 for The Pet Connection, a local no-kill shelter. Chihuahuas get killed in animal shelters almost as much

Supertasks are more philosophical than physical, but they do make for a fun few minutes of contemplation. They make us ask what happens when an infinite number of things happen in a finite amount of time. In this case, they show that things can spontaneously start moving. Supertasks have been devised by philosophers asking questions like, if you turn a lamp on and off an infinite amount of times in a minute, at the end of that minute, will it be on or off Recently, supertasks crossed over to the realm of physics if only
stanley mugs theoretical physics . They indicate that, with Newtonian mechanics, a group of particles can spontaneously start moving. The idea is called The Beautiful Supertask, or the Laraudogoitia Supertask, after Jon Perez Laraudogoitia, who came up with it. Imagine a meter-by-meter square with an infinite number of particles. A particle, traveling at a meter per second, knocks into the square. Because the particle
stanley spain 8217 speed is a meter per second, and the square is a meter wide, within a second, all the motion that was introduced into the square is gone. But there is no particle ejected. The infinite amount of collisions means there is no final particle. The motion just stops. These are Newtonian collisions, so we ;re not messing around with quantum mechanics. One principle of Newtonian physics is they can be run backwards
