: : : I'm wondering about phrases that mean attempting to do the impossible. "Whipping a dead horse" is a good one, though it refers to something (whipping a horse) that *would* have worked once, but no longer will. "Getting blood from a stone" is another phrase.

These sayings concern doing
something impossible, but each has a specific message--it's about something else:
You
can't eat your cake and have it too.
The leopard can't change its spots.
You
can't teach an old dog new tricks.
