It's entirely possible, Rom. Just think globally. This site is viewed 24/7 all over the world. Then think, personally, how many people you know who visit here, you can get some idea.
Of my friends and family, I know of at least 4 people who visit here regularly. I'm only one person, so you can see how more than 800 visitors is possible at any given time.
It's a wonderful place and is one of the first to come up after a Google search for cooking information, which is another reason the number of viewers is probably as high as it is.
Ain't DC great?!! Viva DC!
