Hmm... Maybe it there's no big clue or meaning hidden in the question and it 
was simply put in there for humor? I mean really - how many (average) people 
know the difference between a stalagmite and a stalagtite without having 
looked it up at some point in order to know the difference?? lol  Just a 
nice, funny line for a bit of garnish.
