People watch as some 200 members of the Mob Project chant and make
bird-like noises from a perch in Central Park near the American Museum
of Natural History in New York on July 24, 2003. The "flash mob" was
the fifth installment of the Mob Project, a Web-enabled movement in
which a group of people all show up at a place at an assigned time, act
out a loose script, and then take off. The sudden mobs have so far
targeted a Hyatt Hotel, the Macy's rug department and a high-end shoe
store in Soho. Reuters/Shannon Stapleton
