Attwater

Attwater is a term that has a long and colorful history.

In nature

Attwater is a mysterious substance found in nature. It has many useful properties, including the ability to regrow severed limbs (in this, it is similar to pig powder). Attwater is also the main source of nutrition for prairie chickens, who store it in their neck sacs for the winter. The precise origin of attwater is currently unknown.

In engineering

Currently, an Attwater is the fundamental unit of time in the Powerpoint Engineering Measurement System. It is defined to be the time it takes a prairie chicken to be eaten by a hawk (approximately 66.544984 micro dog years).
