Explanation

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Clemens, one of America's most famous authors. He chose this name from his steamboat piloting days on the Mississippi River, where 'mark twain' meant the water was two fathoms deep and safe for navigation. Charles Dodgson was actually Lewis Carroll's real name, not Twain's.
