Oh. You know, speakng of Julius Caesar, I heard an interesting statistic once. Don’t know if you’ve heard it. A breath of air contains about 10^22 molecules of air. There are about 10^44 molecules in the atmosphere, which is 10^22 x 10^22.
And that means for every breath you take, you breathe one molecule (on average) from Julius Caesar’s dying breath.
And this has other implications as well. Every breath you take contains about one molecule from every other breath of every other human who ever lived. Not total breaths, of course, since that continues growing with each human born, living, and dying.
I guess I just had to get that off my chest.
I've heard the same story except it was George Washington being spoken about.
Imagine how many urinary tracts “freshwater” has run through from dinosaurs onward, lol.
Of the CO2 we exhale, probably exactly none of it will ever be inhaled again, apart from that inhaled by those standing nearby when we exhale, because it will be recycled by photosynthesis, separating the O from the C.
Gee. What does this say about passing gas?
Nevermind.
