Derick from Duluth looks to the sky and finds some stupid:

Who didn’t believe that clouds have a pillowy texture and consistency when they were little? The real question though: How do planes fly through them? The only logical conclusion is that only propeller planes can fly through clouds and that is why they have the propellers attached to their wings. I was convinced that they cut through the clouds as they go and make paths for other planes that are not fortunate enough to have cutting devices mounted on them. Now if only I could get one to drop me off up there so I could hang out in the sky for a while.

Seth shares this tale of his conversion to the ways of science:

As a youngster I was obsessed with knowing the world around me. During one of our family’s many trips to the cabin, I remember asking a particularly large amount of questions. The one that stands out was about the approaching nightfall….I’m sure that after 200 questions my mother was particularly fed up with my pestering. When I asked what makes the night come, she responded…”Clouds! Every night clouds bring the darkness!” It wasn’t until years later that I blurted it out in school, and was promptly told what a moron I was. It was that event that sparked my dedication to science!
