I'd say yes but I believe that you'd end up with a lot of silly/nonsensical sentences, Cooklava.
Is this a bet?

Re: Passive voice
Only if it has a transitive verb. You can't make passives from intransitive verbs because there is no object to become the subject of the passive sentence. As Riverkid says, though, you'd have a lot of really silly sentences.
