Cool! Let's discuss how it is possible, by extreme luck for you to one day walk through a wall. (This is completely serious.)

Okay, so as you may or may not know, our bodies are constructed of atoms, which are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons. A long time ago, Rutherford pelted a sheet of gold foil with protons and discovered that the majority of the mass of an atom is found in its nucleus. (Known today as the Gold Foil Experiment)
Now what this means is that surrounding the nucleus is nothing, just empty space. Atoms are constantly in motion, due to the excited electrons smashing into each other and there is a possibility, though extremely unlikey, that these atoms, will succesively collide into the area where there is nothing. Although it would take about 100 billion atoms colliding WITHOUT hitting the nucleus, it is theoretically possible for one day to walk into a wall and possibly go through it.
Is it worth spending the whole day trying? No, but it is just a cool topic that I am bringing to this llamas and pirates bash. Isn't understanding physics awesome?

Jared,
Why don't you spend an entire day walking through walls of your choice and get back to me with your results of your experiment. Don't forget to give me the extension of your hospital room.

Indeed we do flopsy ;)
Ahhhh I see Jared you are, of course, referring to AE Newman’s second law of cartoon physics.
I happen to be a expert on wall penetrations myself(having unintentionally put my hand to a wall once) and all you really have to do(unless you want to freeze yourself near absolute zero) is to place yourself in front of the Hadron Super Collider particle acceleration beam when they flip the switch. Doing so would realign your phonyons into string loops vibrating in 10 dimensions causing the focii of their axes to become orthogonal to the walls. Now, we wouldn't need to freeze frame our atoms, and our position waves would only be mutated in goggle dimensions. Upon imposing a vector force perpendicular to the wall, we could simply tunnel through the wall. Because ideally, this would make everything's waves smoosh aside, which in turn would make us fall through the floor on the other side. So I wouldn’t volunteer for Mr. Newman’s cartoon method unless you are late for a very important date.

How about some rum for everyone(that is of legal drinking age in your country where you live)?

Then, I'll make a punch for those Not partaking of alcoholic beverage! :)
Nuts, anyone? *places dish of mixed nut, peanuts in the shell and candy coated almonds on party table*

Try This recipe instead!
1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!
1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a h*ll-broth boil and bubble.

with......
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches’ mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg’d i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Back to that walking through a wall thingy; instead of all that freezing of neutrons, aligning of protons and standing in front of a Collosal Hadron Particle Accelerator and having your whole atomic structure thrown out of sync and dimension - when I want to walk through a wall... I use the door.
