Simple: 10,524 Grobs in a Slork,
2 Slorks makes a GrobSlork,
16 GrobSlorks makes a Foot,
12 Foots make a Grobe,
64 Grobes and 1 Slork makes a Sorlok

1 Earth gram = (2 GrobSlork(Southeren unit) - 4114 Glorbs(Deep ocean Standard.)) * 7 + 1 .

Pretty much all the data he given can be base 8. So aliens have four fingers on a hand

I just put a bunch of numbers and stupid names. I didn't intend for it to have a consistent schema. I can't even pretend to be as bad as the imperial system it seems.
