Mounting a pipe for a rail

Drunken night last weekend, some friends and I nabbed a 20ft long metal pipe from a construction site. I'm pretty sure it's stainless steel. It's hollow and decently wide, thicker than a handrail. Any suggestions as to how I can create some supports for this thing? I don't really have access to power tools or a metal shop, but any suggestions are welcome and I'll try to work somthin out.

unless you have a welder its really hard to make a support system will work. You can do it with wood and bolts but will take a lot of thought/engineering to work
