Myth-breaking Time ...
Every once in a while I like to go out of my way to prove that a certain myth is not true, to shed light on a truth that is being squelched, to save the people of America from the bed of lies that many would have them rest on.
Of late, I keep hearing this myth about milk; apparently many naive people have been led to believe that it is impossible to drink one gallon of milk in the time period of one hour. However, I happen to know that this is not true. What are the facts that I have to prove this statement? Well, the short answer to this question is: “none”.
However, the longer, more interesting answer involves me and a severely shamed gallon of milk. Earlier today at exactly 12:46, I decided to attack this gallon of milk. You’ll be proud to know that before thirty minutes were up, more than half of the milk had been destroyed. … Then I got sick and could no longer continue the mission. Yes, I lost … but this was just a battle, not the war. Now that I know what I’m up against, I will be victorious in the end … which might not come for a while due to the fact that even thinking of milk makes me a tiny bit nauseous right now.
Just know that this lie, that Americans are being fed on a daily basis and that (dare I even say it) kids are being told in school, is not true. The truth shall soon be known.

you're inspirational even if not completely successful. but your day will come.
I think I have found you a job.
Your interest in myths got me thinking - the Discovery Channel has a show called MythBusters. It's perfect for you.

And the Discovery Channel is hiring math people:

So maybe you can get a job with the Math part and work your way into the Mythbusters.
i think only you could complete the gallon challenge. this would be phenomenal.
