Now that I've gotten past not being able to access my other blog, I can begin this Plausible Impossible thing.
Pictured above are Donald Duck and his cousin Gus Goose shaking hands. Gus, being the bigger bird, inadvertedly lifts Donald off the ground with his strength. Plausible is that if one shakes the hand of another with enough force, they might end up shaking the rest of their body as well. This is likely impossible, as no one is strong enough to lift someone by the arm in that way.
Here, Gus prepares to create a tall stack of sandwiches...by shuffling the bread and bologna like playing cards. It's plausible, as one can imagine the bread stack and the bologna stack overlapping. Yet it's impossible, as the bologna likely won't slip in-between the bread as easily as playing cards would.
Right after, the goose pulls out a pair of needles and knits a sock out of spaghetti. (He proceeds to slurp it down by that one loose end.) Noodles are similar in shape with string or yarn, so knitting something out of them is plausible. Unlike string, though, they are slippery and can be ripped into smaller pieces by accident, making this feat impossible.
In another show of strength, Gus squeezes a pair of bananas until they pop out of their peels and into his beak. One might consider this achievable with enough force. Chances are it isn't, even with said force. Bananas are not as elastic and "popable" as balloons, as suggested here.
As one last example, here's Gus sucking up peas through a straw. The peas roll towards him in a straight line all the way from the other end of the table. Yeah. Perhaps with enough suction, it could be done. Only a machine could achieve that kind of force, though. Even then, it could not suck up the peas in a way that makes them form a conga line.
That's it, I think. I'm glad I got this done before the hour ended.
