As others have indicated, a megajoule (note spelling) is one million joules. The "joule" is a unit of energy.
One megajoule is enough energy to power a 100 watt lightbulb for a little over 2 hours 45 minutes (2.778 hours, to be more precise).
One megajoule is approximately the amont of energy an adult man burns, on average, in 3-4 hours (assuming he's not gaining or losing weight, and eats a 1800 food calorie diet daily).
One megajoule is the amount of energy generated by a large nuclear power station (1GWe) every 0.024 seconds.
One megajoule is the amount of energy needed to lift 100 pounds about 1.4 miles high (doing work against gravity).
