Protesting Bush's evil oil war
  I estimate 100,000 marched in San Francisco
          by Peter

 Hi,

 I keep reading reports that only 50,000 marched in San Francisco. I was there,
 and I am pretty sure this is an under-inflated number. I've been to many large gatherings,
 and I am sure there were a lot more than 50,000.  My personal estimate is a minimum of 100,000.

 On 5 random occasions I took counts of the number of people that walked by me in 10-second increments.
 On average, every 10 seconds between 85 and 110 people walked by me. Let's settle on the number 90.

 The march took three hours (11:00am to about 2:00pm) when the last marcher walked by me.

 Now do the simple math:

 (90 marchers per 10 second increment) * (6 increments in a minute) * (60 minutes in an hour) * (3 hours) = 97,200.

 This number does not, however, count all the people along the parade route - and there were a lot.
 Let's say, however, that there were only 2,800, then the number of people that participated on Saturday,
 January 18th anti-Iraq war protest is estimated at 100,000.

 Keep swinging the hammer,
 Peter
