A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Anyone remember that offline Wikipedia reader that had the whole text of English wiki on it? I always thought it was neat.

You can still download an archive of Wikipedia today, and it's smaller than you'd expect

How big do I expect it to be?

At least twelve megabytes. Probably even more.

I downloaded one recently for when I was going to be offline for a whole week. It worked amazingly well!
