I had my younger brothers believing that clouds were made by the power generation plant close to our town... the plant released steam continually.

I grew up in a mining town that had huge smokestacks at the smelter that were visible for miles around. I used to believe that these smokestacks were what made clouds.

I have a paper mill in my town that is constantly emitting clouds of smoke. I told my little brother that it was a Cloud Factory and that they had giants in there who ate baked beans and farted out the clouds in the sky.

When I was little I lived close to a nuclear power plant which had these enormous cooling towers. One day we drove past it and there was all this white smoke coming out of the huge chimneys. My mum told me it was where they made clouds and I believed it until I was like, ten or something!

This actually was a belief of my brother's that when I was a kid, I thought was true. My dad works at a power plant, and my brother, in preschool said his daddy worked at a cloud factory. after hearing my parents say this story over and over I started to believe them.

As a child I use to think that factory that billowed white smoke were making clouds.

My dad works at a paper mill, so they have a giant steam-stack. Up until I was about 5 or 6, I thought that the steam-stack made clouds, because they looked like it. I was so dumb.

I used to think that the smoke coming from the factories were actually making clouds

When i was little my parents used to tell me that the factory chimneys that had all the smoke coming out of them were cloud-makers.

They said when the clouds are white, it makes the day nice but when the clouds are grey, it's going to rain and storm.

I was always a bit worried when there were grey clouds that it would rain too much, the world would fill up with water and we'd all drown.

As far as i know that hasn't happened yet.

Near my city, Cleveland, there is a huge factory that creates massive ammounts of polution and smoke. It spews out of this large pipe outside of a building constantly. I always thought that was what made the clouds. I talked to my boyfriend about it and he thought the same thing when he was young.

I am sure I can't be the only one, but I thougth smokestacks were where clouds came from.

My mate Chris believed that the big water cooling chimneys at power stations used to be 'cloud makers'. OK for an 8 year old, but he was 18 when he told me.

i used to believe that clouds were made from the thick smoke that came out of power plant towers.

At the age of 4 , I thought , as we drove by the industrial section of town (e.g. potatoe chip factory), in the midst of winter billows of beautiful white steam flowed out of many pipes creating cloud like billows. Consequently , I thought these were cloud factories.

Zach Arnold

when i was younger i believed that clouds were made from the smoke stacks

lisa

I used to believe that cooling towers were really just cloud making machines

Dianne

When I asked my mother where clouds came from, she said "factories" and I believed this for way too long - almost into my teens!

When my children were little there was a asphalt plant in the town we lived in and it had a smoke stack. And I told them it was a cloud machine and for years they believed it and told others untill they were about 12 years old.
