The following conversion table appeared in our local 
Amateur Radio Club Newsletter:

   10^12 microphones = 1 megaphone

   10^-12 boulevards = 1 pico boulevard (a thoroughfare in L. A.)

   10^21 picolos     = 1 gigolo

   10 millipedes     = 1 centipede

   10 monologues     = 5 dialogues

   10^6 bicycles     = 2 megacycles

If anyone has more, please send them to me.
