Land speculators may want to contact real estate agents in the Pittsburgh area to cash in!"

Well, the problem of people not realizing that numbers get real big when you square them doesn't go away by making everything multiples of 10. People will still be surprised to find out how big a cubic meter is, and that a square kilometer is a million square meters. No matter how obvious it seems, for some reason people aren't too good at making those connections.
