When I was young, I was told the story of Icarus and his wax wings. I thought that maybe if I made wings like that then I would be able to fly as well. I took a roll of paper, wrapped it around my arm and glued strips of paper to it. I took a chair and jumped off of it flapping as hard as I could. It didn't work but I did end up with a sprained wrist.
There is a part of that still believes its possible.
