I like it so far, especially the stone things (I always get them backwards..stalagmites and stalactites). Can't wait for the color goodness

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Stalactites hold 'tite' to the ceiling.
And yes, it's looking great.
Heh, that works.
I've always remembered them by Stalags hang "tight" to the ceiling.
Edit: Bsh! Torstan's post almost copied word for word. I'd say great minds think alike but it seems some of those great minds don't read the second page of the threads. Hehe.

A long time ago I was told to "just drop the 'e' at the end, and you'll always remember".
Slightly distasteful, but it still holds true to this day.
Yeah, I know.
I'll get my coat.
Thanks for the comments so far, and the education on stalagtites.
I had always used the stalag-tight way, with the addition of stalag-mights, they might eventually reach the ceiling.
stalagMites: might make it to the ceiling one day.

Nice way of remembering. The way I learned it, stalagmite and stalactite. G for Ground, and C for Ceiling
orrr "You better hold on TITE or you MITE fall down" which what I always use to remember
