isn't apple used in many languages as a generic term for fruit?... it's not like pineapple has anything to do with apples either.

Case in point: Pomegranate. pomme = apple or more generically fruit, granate = grenade. It's a shrapnel apple. Apt description if you've ever eaten one.

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.
