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.

From one of my favorite episodes of X-Files, where I first heard the term "inner space," I define it as subterranean/oceanic. The space within our planet. The episode was talking about aliens that came from the center of the Earth, as opposed to space. And I always thought that was a neat twist. It was also one of those weird ass ones Duchovney directed so it was high on the humor scale and featured the Lone Gunmen which I always liked.
