Satchel: Hmm.
Bucky: What?
Satchel: There's a lot of dust on the ceiling and I'm worried there might be dust mites in it.
Bucky: No.
Satchel: Ok, good.
Bucky: Dust mites grow on the ground the ones up there would be dust tites.
Funny, I never really knew or cared about the difference in tites and mites… now the difference is forever forged in my brain. Thanks everyone, time to go sign up for jeopardy.

I almost spewed liquid at the monitor. This is so priceless. Is it me or has Bucky been making sense these past few days.?

To keep the names straight, just remember: “The top ones have to hang on tite.”

I’m so glad Bucky cleared that up, I never knew that. I wonder what the ones that grow on the wall would be called. “Dusticles?”

I was taught stala-T-ites (T pointing down) and stalag-M-ites (M pointing up).
caroljshelton over 11 years ago
The really old joke is that when stalactites and stalagmites meet each other they are then damntites.

A guy’s recounting his cave exploration to another guy:
“…and I stumbled backwards and sat down right on a stalagmite.”
“Are those the ones that go up?”
“That one did.”

The tites hang on tight, and the mites just might meet them in the middle.
