I concur its impossible you need to "splain it better Ricky"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossibility
Impossible is also a name of a skateboarding trick. See modal logic for logic which discusses impossibility, contingency and necessity.
"Doctrine of Impossibility" is an excuse for non-performance of duties under a contract, based on a change in circumstances (or the discovery of preexisting circumstances), the nonoccurrence of which was an underlying assumption of the contract, that makes performance of the contract literally impossible. For such a defense to be raised, performance must not merely be difficult or unexpectedly costly for one party; there must be no way for it to actually be accomplished.

For example, if Rachel contracts to pay Joey £500 to paint her house on October 1, but the house burns to the ground before the end of September, Rachel is excused from her duty to pay Joey the £500, and he is excused from the duty to paint her house. Although, Joey still may be able to sue for restitution for the benefit conferred to Rachel prior to the burning down of the house.
Thats what it says O_-

Nothing is impossible implies that no possibility can be excluded, even impossibility. Hence we need to rephrase the statement as 'everything is possible' and then we can posit that impossibility is also possible.

Impossibility is a contradiction to the premise "nothing is impossible". Therefore, the statement "nothing is impossible" is false.

SOme things are impossible.

If I say run a 10000 miiles in .000001 seconds right now, than that is impossible.

Of course, millions of things are impossible, just as millions are possible. To say everything is possible, or everything is good, is like saying "Everything is meaningless". There is day and there is night. Without night, we would not appreciate day, without dark we would not appreciate light.
Therefore, without impossible things, we would not appreciate all the possible things. I rest my case.
Yours, in possibility,

The question is impossiblely hard to answer. if u want to hear possible answers, then explain yourself if at all possible, with a bit more clarity.
