Hmmmmm . . . a slight confusion between the SI suffix and the old Roman
numeral . . . causing an interpretation error of about three orders of
magnitude?
I'll bet the "M" is the Roman numeral for 1,000, not the SI abbreviation
for "Mega" or 1,000,000. But . . . it's more fun to imagine the latter and
that the Earth is now wobbling considerably with all of humanity packed
into Victoria. Glad I'm not there . . . I get claustrophobic in large crowds.
