Yes but would you feel better if I said 2/329731000 rounded up? You're dealing with activities in over a dozen cities around the country that have been organized and supplied rapidly. That's no mean trick -- just try to organize 20-50 families for something as simple and mundane as a joint picnic in 2 weeks' time -- much less hundreds and thousands of people gathering at a specific place and time with less than a week's notice. Smartphones help with information distribution and you can say someone just tossed a date/time out there and let it spread but SOMEONE generated and coordinate that information flow.

Oh, by the way, similar activities generated with similar themes and messages worldwide in less than a week? Yeah, it could all be random action, Brownian motion in societal action --- and monkeys could fly up my butt.
