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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Wrong. I for one would love to have a minibronto. Or a lap-diplodocus. Or a triceratops named Spikey.

Hell, Archaeropteryx would look great perched on the curtain rod like a small parakeet.

And if you have rodent issues in your house, just unleash the T-rex. On that note, does Latin have a diminutive form of "Rex" ?

Plus, imagine the two playful Pachycephalosauri bumping their heads together all the time, with an audible click every time they did.

Also, who wouldn't want an aquarium or a fish pond inhabited by a Nanolodon?
