1. Twisternoun

   One who twists; a ropemaker. To this word I have annexed some remarkable lines, which explain twist in all its senses.

   Etymology: from twist.

   When a twister a-twisting will twist him a twist,
   For the twisting of his twist, he three twines doth intwist;
   But if one of the twines of the twist do untwist,
   The twine that untwisteth untwisteth the twist.
   Untwirling the twine that untwisteth between,
   He twirls with his twister the two in a twine;
   Then twice having twisted the twines of the twine,
   He twitcheth the twine he had twined in twain.
   The twain that in twining before in the twine,
   As twins were intwisted, he now doth untwine,
   ’Twixt the twain intertwisting a twine more between,
   He, twirling his twister, makes a twist of the twine. John Wallis.

1. Twister

   Twister is a 1996 American disaster drama film starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton as storm chasers researching tornadoes. It was directed by Jan de Bont from a screenplay by Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin. Its executive producers were Steven Spielberg, Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Gerald R. Molen. Twister was the second-highest-grossing film of 1996 domestically, with an estimated 55 million tickets sold in the US. It is notable for being both the first Hollywood feature film to be released on DVD format and one of the last to be released on HD DVD. Twister has since been released on Blu-ray Disc. In the film, a team of storm chasers try to perfect a data-gathering instrument, designed to be released into the funnel of a tornado, while competing with another better-funded team with a similar device during a tornado outbreak across Oklahoma. The plot is a dramatized view of research projects like VORTEX of the NOAA. The device used in the movie, called Dorothy, is copied from the real-life TOTO, used in the 1980s by NSSL.
