For the benefit of those who wondered.

I posted this in a comment in alaskawolf's livejournal, but the scientific ramifications are significant, so I thought I'd cross-post it here. The folks preparing to fire up the Large Hadron Collider in September may want to take note of this - surely there's something they can glean from this anomaly that will help them in their work.

It is a well-known and widely documented scientific fact that a chihuahua can occupy bed surface according to the following formula, such that x = Chihuahua body volume, and f(x) = area of bed space occupied

f(x) = 47x + 4.7x

I have verified these facts by personal experimentation over a period of several weeks, and expect to repeat the procedure as a control in the near future.

The secret of Quantum Chihuahua containment

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Chihuahuas will move until they're lying against you. If you move away, they move. This process, if allowed to continue will have you on the edge of the bed, and little dog in full possession of the territory. Additionally, as the Chihuahua weighs down the covers, you can not get out on that side.

The secret, therefore, is to tuck the Chihuahua under your right arm with her head either on your arm, or under your armpit. (Allow the Chihuahua the choice).

Since the Chihuahua has a source of warmth on both sides, it stays centered and may be considered stable.

Stability is mainly affected by movement. If you move, you will disrupt the fourier transform of the little dog field and the Chihuahua may exhibit tunneling behavior.

The secret therefore is simply not to move.

Now, how to write that in a formula...?
