Well spotted correction sent in from Ianman:

>1 million microphones: 1 megaphone

Actually, 1 million microphones = 1 phone.
1 million phones = 1 megaphone.
1000 microphones = 1 milliphone.
1000 milliphones = 1 phone.
1000 phones = 1 kilophone.
1000 kilophone = 1 megaphone.
1000 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 1 (American) trillion.
Therefore 1 million million (American trillion) microphones = 1 megaphone
