Think yourself lucky, honoured  or blessed (or some mix) depending on your
perspective.
EVERY breath you take you breathe in molecules once exhaled by Jesus
Christ*. Also Julius Caesar, Plato and some tens of millions of other
people. I'm not sure how far back you have to go before you can assert this
with certainty but after 2000 years you're easily there.

Now, about the water you drink ... :-)

* If anyone wants the calculations on this ask offlist and I'll send you a
copy of a sci-fact piece I wrote some years ago.

________________________

"............ If our assumptions are valid, in every breath we take we
breath in billions of molecules which have already been breathed by each of
Jesus Christ, Julius Caesar, Plato, ..... you name it. Some of these
molecules will become part of us for life, others will be breathed out,
never to return, on the next breath. Simply by breathing I share a part of
every historic character who ever breathed before me.

Such a stunning result suggests a recheck of both the calculations and the
assumptions. I have checked the calculations several times - I largely leave
it to you to satisfy yourself that the assumptions are valid - many
mechanisms for reduction of the results suggest themselves but none seem
likely to reverse the conclusion. I have outlined a few below and would
welcome any suggestions which promise to effect the result significantly.
