Thanks to dwarf fortress I know a quire is a medieval folded paper book

By the time I got paper things going, everyone was dying to were creatures. Did make soap though, if only that could clean bite wounds enough, alas.

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.
