They were counting the cameras, microphones and satellite dishes.

I did the same thing yesterday....I broke down the pic into grids....100 people in each grid...10 across, 10 deep....I came up with 15 grids.....for about 15,000 give or take a couple of thousand....10,000 seems about right with me.

[Bahbah]

Now if you counted them based on IQ....

Is it possible to get into negative numbers :)

Did you know ANSWER sent out an email saying they had 300,000 people ..?? ROTFLOL!!

And .. I heard from a FReeper who was there that a lot of those people recycled the parade route and went through the line 3-4 times .. making it appear as though there were a lot more people. I believe it was their best guess that the total anti-everything group was about 15,000 - at best.

These people CHEAT on everything. No wonder they accuse Bush of lying .. they're so good at it themselves, they must just assume everybody does it.

This bunch could have used a bath!

Try this calculation. Take the area of the oval (U used Google Earth) approx .21 miles across by .16 miles sidewalk to sidewalk. That's an area of .0336 square miles or 936,714 square feet.

If you really packed the oval wall to wall using approx 9.36 sf per person (that's pretty snug in a big crowd), you would get 100,000 people. Clearly looking at the photo there is only one small dense area that approaches or exceeds 9sf per person. This area is 1/8th of the oval's area. The rest is empty or sparsely populated.

Now of course some kooks are already marching, but the estimate of 100,000 total is way off, half that at best for everyone. There are maybe 10,000 in the oval.

Neat work, that. About 7,000 seems right. Keep in mind too that a large number of those who made up the crowd, maybe most of them, were there for the party, for the adventure of it all.

A small core also show up at these anti-war (read, anti-American) rallies because they are moronic communist dupes.

Clearly too many Americans have too much leisure time on their hands. We should give them something to do that challenges their intellectual level -- like operating busy-boxes.

The real frauds and liars are the media who go along with inflated numbers even though they know very well the numbers bandied about are greatly exaggerated.

That tells us on which side the media stands.

Meanwhile ABC and CBS continues to search for lefties to replace Jennings and Rather. How about Al Franken? Or Mario Cuemo?

There is no way the MSM will allow this to be printed or aired!!! The cry is "Get BUSH" in any manner it takes. Every night I go to bed hoping and praying that Secret Service is the best we have.

One of Zahi Aiwass' first contracts before he became czar of Egyptian antiquities was to count one of the big rallys. He did pretty much the same thing you did and came up with a similar result. A million turned into about a tenth of that once somebody did an actual count of some kind.

[Even if it wer 100,000, you get more than that at a Nextel Race. And I'd like to see what their opinion on the matter would be.]

Yes, and one must pay to see a Nextel race while they are paid to attend the rally.

divided into 1/8 inch squares with about 16 pixels per square

I put together a 1/8 inch graph using 'paint' because I often draw floor plans to scale with one pixel equaling one inch. A 1/8th inch square is actually slightly more than twelve pixels on a side, or about 144 square pixels. So if you were estimating using sixteen pixels per 1/8th inch square, then you were off by a factor of nine. So if I understand your modus operandi correctly, maybe there were close to 100,000 there. I won't be unhappy if you can show me where I'm wrong.

Had ANSWER given out the drugs they obviously inhaled, there would have been 300,000.

[oolatec]

Someone has too much time on their hands... I guess they didn't take into account that one photograph may not include everyone that attended...

Every party has a pooper that's why we invited YOU!

>>>>being generous because some of the grays are probably pavement, I reached a grand total of---6749!

Sounds about right. 6749 professional protesters being paid by George Soros&Company.
