Impossible: Ideas, Actions & More

[wolram]

How many impossible things, actions, what ever, can you think of?

 

[FredGarvin]

I know it is impossible for me to marry Yasmeen Ghauri. Does that count?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Changing a duvet cover in the back of a moving caravan.

Playing the sax solo from Gerry Rafferties Baker street while kicking a football up an escalator.

Opening a bag of Doritoes whilst standing in a hammock.

Being right in an argument against an angry woman.

Reading a copy of The Daily Mail without rolling your eyes, regardless of how right or left wing you are.

Unicycling backwards across a tight rope juggling whilst drunk.

 

[radou]

Being right in an argument against an angry woman.

:rofl:

Write an SMS with your feet.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

How many impossible things, actions, what ever, can you think of?

I can't think of any.

 

[out of whack]

.

Me fail English, that's unpossible!

[ice109]

nothing? is that the right answer? this is a guidance counseling session right?

 

[JasonRox]

Creating a star with your hands.

It's not hard to think of something impossible.

 

[humanino]

How many impossible things, actions, what ever, can you think of?

You mean, how many before breakfast ? :tongue2:

It is impossible to pull out a quark out of an hadron.

i can do that

It is impossible to pull out a quark out of an hadron.

that too

 

[Evo]

Working in the yard without getting injured.

 

[Danger]

Teaching a snake to tap-dance.

 

[humanino]

To comb a hairy sphere flat

 

[dontdisturbmycircles]

Millions upon billions upon trillions

For example - listing them all.

 

[neutrino]

How many impossible things, actions, what ever, can you think of?

At least one.

 

[CompuChip]

Turning your hand one direction, and the same foot the other (for example, turn your left hand clockwise and your left foot CCW).

 

[Evo]

Turning your hand one direction, and the same foot the other (for example, turn your left hand clockwise and your left foot CCW).

I can do it.

 

[radou]

I can do it.

Hey, me too, I just tried it out!

CompuChip, think of something better, please. :tongue:

 

[neutrino]

Anyone can do it.

Turn left-hand cw
stop
Turn left-leg ccw
stop

1 out of 6, not bad

 

[humanino]

1 out of 6, not bad

Which one ?

Licking my own hear. Actually, I can't even lick my own elbow.

Swimming up to the Moon.

Sending taste and/or odor in my messages on PF. But do I really want that ?

 

[Evo]

Finding a bra that fits.

 

[Gokul43201]

Teaching a snake to tap-dance.

Now that's impossible, but not as impossible as teaching a snake to lap dance.

As Cantor once said, some things are more impossible than others.

 

[radou]

Wearing your pants on your head and going to take an exam.

 

[humanino]

Wearing your pants on your head and going to take an exam.

That is not, strictly speaking, impossible. Very unlikely, I admit it. Unlikely things are easy to imagine :

• Spending one day without PF ?
  
• Finding a serious thead in GD ? (ok, that was inappropriate :uhh:)
  
• Writing more than 10k lines of code in a day, compiling, and finding to your great delight that you have no bug

Another impossible thing :
Eating beef wings

 

[radou]

That is not, strictly speaking, impossible. Very unlikely, I admit it.

I know. But it's still impossible. :tongue:

Okay, okay. Putting on a forest fire with a screwdriver.

 

[RetardedBastard]

You are all very wrong. Everything above that has been listed as being impossible are all actually possible. Literally, in the last 3 minutes, I was able to accomplish all of them.

Oh, and how did your exam go?

 

[ice109]

it's called imagination folks

 

[humanino]

I think Evo will be the one most eager to hear how you managed to do all those. :tongue2:

 

[humanino]

I do not think we lack imagination. Combing a hairy sphere flat is definitely impossible, as it is a well defined statement. You will not be able to pull a quark out of an hadron either. Why ? Because it is self-contradictory. There is no lack of imagination in that.

Try to find a way out of Godel's theorem if you have so much imagination. Otherwise, it will provide you with yet another impossible thing to do. To prove it is impossible, Godel used a lot of imagination.

 

[RetardedBastard]

Wha? Everone else was listing an impossible task, and I listed on myself :tongue2:

 

[RetardedBastard]

Oh, and how did your exam go?

Let's just say, it took me longer to post this sentence than to complete the exam :)

hey now if i say i can a vanishing continuous tangent vector field on a sphere than it is so! proving it is another matter altogether, and as far as i know hadron is a collection of quarks so i can easily pull a quark out of a hadron.

besides i think you guys are forgetting where we are, this is GD. I'm not in the least bit serious about any of this.

 

[Averagesupernova]

At this time none. Why? Because I realize that an infinite number of things are impossible and to begin counting (even just one) is pointless, so I didn't bother.
