how many calories does walking burn?

I know this has probably been discussed till the cows come home. but I am just wondering; how many calories does walking burn? I walk at a pretty brisk pace and wouldn't mind keeping that pace, but how long do I have to walk to kill some calories off?

It depends on how much you weigh.

An estimate is: from http://www.runnersworld.com/weight-loss/running-v-walking-how-many-calories-will-you-burn?page=single
CALORIES/MILE .57 x wt in lbs
CALORIES/MIN .03 x wt in lbs
