>>1 million microphones: 1 megaphone

I belive this is incorrect.

1 million microphones = 1 Kilophone

1 billion microphones = 1 Megaphone

(In America.  In Britain, 1 thousand million microphones = 1 Megaphone)

Sorry, Phil, but 1 million microphones is one phone.  1 trillion
microphones (million million unthe UK) equals a megaphone.
