Default 86,400 Barrels of Gulf 'spill' per day

The way I figure it, the Gulf oil spill is spewing out 86,400 barrels per day. That's pretty close to the now-scientific estimate of 100,000 barrels per day. And to think the BP at first said it was somewhere between only 1,000 to 5,000 barrels per day!

The experts should have simply called me, and I would have given them the "correct" number weeks ago.

Here's my calculation (from my live TV observance (CNBC New) of the oil spill: It appears to me (eyeball observation), that it's spewing one (1) barrel per second. Look for yourself.

1 barrel per sec. = 60 barrels per minute ,
which equals 3,600 barrels per hour (60x60),
which equals 86,400 barrles per 24-hour period (3600x24)

Thus, "the Gene Machine non-Scientific System" calls it at 86,400 barrels per day.

Would someone at BP, or CNBC, or the White House, or ???, simply send me a check for my non-scientific intelligence??? Napoleon Hill, author of 'Think and Grow Rich,' would be proud of my stance on ...."send me the money." I'm thinking positively!
