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.

but I swear I remember seeing a bone condition that caused spiky growths, almost like crystals, to form from your bones.

That's what bone cancer is...

Sometimes it's just a lump in one spot. Sometimes it's a whole bunch of tiny growths that push into nerves and flesh.

Proteus Disease is what the Elephant Man had, but that's really just a super specific version of bone cancer.
