From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   like nailing jelly to a tree adj.   Used to describe a task
   thought to be impossible, esp. one in which the difficulty arises
   from poor specification or inherent slipperiness in the problem
   domain.   "Trying to display the `prettiest' arrangement of nodes and
   arcs that diagrams a given graph is like nailing jelly to a tree,
   because nobody's sure what `prettiest' means algorithmically."
  
      Hacker use of this term may recall mainstream slang originated
   early in the 20th century by President Theodore Roosevelt.   There is
   a legend that, weary of inconclusive talks with Colombia over the
   right to dig a canal through its then-province Panama, he remarked,
   "Negotiating with those pirates is like trying to nail currant jelly
   to the wall."   Roosevelt's government subsequently encouraged the
   anti-Colombian insurgency that created the nation of Panama.
