Unit Definition (attometer)
An Attometer (or attometre) is equal to one quintillionth of a meter, or sometimes denoted as 10e-18 meters. The origin of the prefix is atten, the word for 18 in Danish and Norwegian.

Unit Definition (twain)
The twain is an old word for the number two, derived from the Anglo-Saxon twegen. The American author Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), who had been a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi in his youth, took his literary name from a traditional riverboat phrase "mark twain", meaning "exactly two" fathoms of water. This was the minimum depth needed for the boats to operate safely without running aground.
