Only criticism is the use of non-metric weight units when everything else is SI-based.

The joke wouldn’t have worked as well.
A gram is actually a pretty small unit of weight, and the joke relies on the base units. It’s actually a weird little abberation in the metric system that the “base” unit is considered the kilo gram. so a 1 gram rock would be a little pebble, strangely small.
