Question

[hummingwolf]

Rummaging around in my desk looking for something else, I found a bunch of solid wooden cylinders, the diameter of an ordinary pencil and very slightly more than five inches long. What are they?

Edit: Okay, I have dowels! Now, why are there dowels in my desk drawer? How have I not noticed them before? Why are they there? Have they been here all along, or did some dowel gnomes sneak into my room distributing dowels? Now that I've found them in my desk, might I find them in other places as well?

I don't remember ever having a craft kit, but now that you mention crafts, I realize that the answer to the "why?" questions is probably "Because my parents were packrats."
