When i was 3 or 4 my aunt told me that pollution coming out of smoke stacks at factorys was "Cloud Machines". Iwas very gullible.

Going to my Grandmothers, we would always pass a huge factory that had tons of smoke pouring out from it. I though it was a cloud making machine.

When I was wee little, my Aunt K told me that the smoke stacks in my home town made the clouds. The sad part is, I believed it until I was 12.

I told my kids that the huge chimneys at the power station were cloud machines. Travelling past one day, the sky was blue and the first chimney wasn't smoking (strange coincidence?), but a few miles up the road and the sky began to cloud over. You guessed it, the second chimney was smoking. So, my little story became their belief, until I fessed up and told them the truth!

I used to think that clouds came from the big factory downtown. When the clouds were dark, the factory was putting out more pollution.

I used to think the clouds were made of the steam that comes out of the factory smoke stacks.

TJ

All clouds came from smokestacks.

I used to believe that this power plant near my home was actually a Cloud Factory and the steam coming from it were the freshly produced clouds. I thought if the clouds were nice and thick they'd serve for the angels as a vessel to float around the sky and I was always glad to see such a cloud leave.

i used to think the pulp mill was a cloud maker and later i thought it was a cheezie maker

boo

i use to think that the smoke that comes out of factories was how clouds were made.

I used to believe that the oil refineries near my house were really "cloud making factories." This seemed reasonable, I lived in Los Angeles near the ocean, the smoke-stacks were near the ocean, clouds are white, smoke is white...

There is a factory in my town that emitts a lot of white steam. Everytime my family would drive by, my sister and I would exclaim "Look! It's the cloud factory!" We really believed that the factory made clouds.

When i was about 5-6, i thought factories expelling white smoke were making clouds for a sunny weather while factories producing black smoke were producing rain clouds and would cause the rain to come soon. It never occured to me that different factories come out with different coloured smoke. I thought it was according to the weather they wanted that day. So i would pretty disappointed if i didn't want it to rain but saw a factory producing black "clouds".

I used to think that smoke stacks made the clouds.

my younger sister used to believe that smokestacks made the clouds in the sky...she actually believed this up until a few years ago and she is now going on 22.

Jessica

When i was a kid I use to believe that Power stations with huge chimneys (liek the one Homer simpson works at) where made to make clouds and thats where all the clouds came from

Owen

when my family would be driving down a major highway, we would pass these factories that would let out this cloudy stuff. my mom would tell me "they are cloud makers"...little did i know it was pollution :)

jessica

On long car trips we would pass factories whose tall stacks continuously steamed and smoked. I was sure these were cloud factories!

Angi

When I was little I thought that factory smokestacks that produced clouds of white fluffy exhaust were cloud factories, and that's where clouds came from.

Holly

I used to believe that factory smoke stacks created pretty, fluffy, white clouds.
