It was thus said that the Great Tony Duell once stated:
Still, what do you expect from a system of units where one of the base
units -- by its very name -- is clearly 1000 times something else (I am
thinking of the kilogram, of course)
I thought the gram was the base unit, which is one cubic centemeter of
water at 4 Celcius (when water is at its most dense).
