What is the difference between a stalactite and a stalagmite? I forgot. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I need the answer quick, because I need that information for my story.

Stalactites have a 'c' which I associate with 'ceiling', stalagmites have a 'g' which I associate with 'ground'.

I'll not forget until I develop Alzheimer's. [img]smile.gif[/img]
