Berkeley elementary school kids try for Einstein world record Albert Einstein, who knew a lot of stuff, probably never knew that he had to put glue on his famous mustache or it would fall off. Luca was one of more than 300 Berkeley schoolkids who dressed up as Einstein to set a record for the number of people dressed up as Einstein. The entire student body of Black Pine Circle School got the afternoon off to stand in the athletic field dressed in white wigs, white mustaches, neckties, sport coats and slacks — girls included. For each kid who left his square to use the bathroom or get a drink, the Einstein count was to be reduced by one. Physical education teacher Vince Apple-Chiarella was the official timekeeper. For a while, the kindergarten mommies were fanning the faces of their little Einsteins, because it was a hot day to be wearing plastic hair, but then the judges came around and told the mommies that the official rules from the Guinness Book of World Records said the mommies had to go away and the Einsteins had to do it on their own. [...] the mommies and daddies reluctantly retired to the side of the field and gazed adoringly at the proceedings, which were all included, along with the plastic wigs, in the school’s $22,000 annual tuition. To kill time, he sang songs, read fun Einstein facts, told physics jokes (I’m positive, said a proton) and talked about how Einstein got around on his bike, just like a Black Pine Circle kid. Immediately after yelling “3-2-1-zero!” the new world record holders wasted no time ripping off off their despised Einstein wigs and tossing them into the air as if they were mortarboards at graduation that they were done with forever. The judges in the orange safety vests, checking their clipboards, said many of the Einsteins had failed in their elementary school obligations, just as the original Einstein had done. Judge Travis Ash disqualified four more kids for mustache and wig violations and another kid for stepping outside the boundary line.
