Houston Mentioned on MSNBC.COM


Recommended Posts

There is a slide show of Houston in the travel section of MSNBC.com 's website.

Can't really see they did a bad job except for a couple of minor errors. I only took a quick glance at it, but they seem to have quite a few good pictures.

"Downtown, the buildings are boxy glass stalactites soaring to the sky"

I imagine they were searching for "stalagmites" there. :)

Stalactites hang down and Stalagmites go up, Right ? :huh: Stalagmites, don't really go up, the tips are just the point where the limestone water has dripped down for eons and has built up.

Ok, the "Mr. I hurt my brain thinking about this!" show, is over.

That's funny, I remember in school I was taught to remember the difference by "Stalagmites MIGHT reach the ceiling and Stalagtites are hanging TIGHT on the ceiling". Funny how something like that sticks with you 30, er, 20ish, years later. :-)
