I mentioned gulliblilty in a recent post about the end of religion, I found this online. Test your own gulliblilty factor. I got in top 5 %:

Yay, top 5% (though it didn't tell me my score). The questions were loaded and a lot of them were unfair and incomplete. The explanations as well were inflammatory and honestly just seemed untrue, or not explained well.
Milk does not contain pus. Perhaps the milk in the containers that we get from the grocery story contains stuff like that, but milk coming out of a cows tit is only milk. That's an example of what I am talking about.
Originally posted by DraxusOn the matter of pus, I think they are talking about the possiblity of cows having infections inside the udders and that will lead to the development of 'pus' which would be a response to this infection, of course not all cows would have it but some may. It can be tested for and verified, I certainly am not an expert in this but I would not be suprised to find SOME milk contains SOME pus. Whether that in itself is harmful or not is another story, I tend to doubt whether any harm could come to people over this stuff.

Oh yeah, this is my favorite question:
"All the clean hydrogen we need to power the world is already contained in crystals at the bottom of the ocean called gas hydrates."
Oh really? We will have something to power our world for all time if we only go to the bottom of the ocean? That power source, just like every other power source, will someday run out. It is false and inflammatory to say that it is "all we need."

Originally posted by DraxusWell the answer to that is the hydrates at the bottom of the ocean are real, but do not contain hydrogen gas, its a form of METHANE ice. The stuff litters the bottom of the ocean and could indeed be a large source of energy and is also thought to be a potential threat because if the stuff is disturbed, all the methane could rise to the surface and at the very least add to the destruction of the ozone layer because methane is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than CO2. It can be 'mined' if safe ways were developed to deal with such a potentially lethal energy source.
