Um.. I think you might find that that's slightly wrong. It should read:-

minim=half 
semibreve=whole
breve=double whole

also:-

demisemiquaver=32nd note
hemidemisemiquaver=64th note
semihemidemisemiquaver=128th note

I can't say that I've seen any music with shorter or longer time values
than that, so that should be a fairly complete list.
