How to tell the stalactites from the stalagmites: It’s like ants in the pants… when the mites go up, the tites will come down.

Or … stalacTites come from the Top and stalaGmites come from the Ground.

The cave has a rising and falling damp problem. However, that’s unlikely to stop any Real Estate agent in his quest.

Reminds me of the drunk lying in the gutter hanging on to the curb and screaming don’t let me fall.

yes, the stalagtites hold tight to the ceiling, the stalagmites just might get there someday.of course ants in the pants is much fancier

Try sleeping beneath one of those suckers. Of course sleeping on top of one has it’s challenges. (You figure out the top and bottom of this, okay?)

stalagTite = Top – that’s how I’ve always remembered it.

Tites have to hang tight … Mites might reach the top

I hope the seller didn’t leave his trampoline.

Yeah, I always used the G in stalagmite to think of Ground.

And i always used the K in spelunKing to ask myself how Krazy I must be to be in a small cavern far underground in the dark.

“I’ve never come across the need to know up from down.”_______________for one thing, it’s pretty hard to fall UP.

Here’s my problem: I’m standing on my head. Now which is which? What way IS up?!

Obviously several never heard about the Ceiling/Ground difference. There is NO SUCH THING as a stalaGtite!

And if the two connect, you have a column – much easier to remember.

At least it’s not that darned popcorn ceiling stuff.

Tites or Mites?….That is the Question

Everyone has a different way to remember which is shich. I was told that the StalacTitie hangs down (T), and the StalagMite goes UP like a Mountain peak.

It looks like a decorative cave, but those look like more cleaning to me. (Dust collectors).

yeh, just like these new ceilings with all the little foamy balls stuck to ’em. “hides” the gouges, scratches, and crappy craftsmanship of your ceiling installer.

OMG the wolf in yesterdays comic looks AWESOME.
