I’ve always been a little skeptical of the good will of clouds. They hover over us, uncontrolled and waiting to dump tons and tons of exploding white poodles on unsuspecting metro area.

Now, my healthy fear of clouds is confirmed: they truly are trying to kill us.

Tiny particles linked to a number of painful and sometimes deadly diseases may spread across the globe by hitching a ride in clouds, claim researchers in a recent issue of the Journal of Proteome Research.

The particles, known as nanobacteria, are 100 times smaller than typical bacteria and have been found in kidney stones, arterial plaques and ovarian cancers.

I say arm the citizens and take aim at those damned, evil clouds.

As renowned cloud hater, Joni Mitchell said in her song, “Both Sides, Now”:

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Do any of us truly know clouds? I think not.
