Since the discussion is going in a direction away from unicycling, let me
picth in my two yen. You probably know the saying “In my dictionary, there
is no such a word as impossible”. As it happens, I may be one of the few
people in the world that can say this literally. Because I believe in the
figurative version, I deliberately left that word out of my comprehensive
kanji learning dictionary
(http://www.kanji.org/kanji/dictionaries/njecd/njecd.htm). It’s “fun” to
be able to make that statement literally…
