I understand the likelihood of matching someone else's DNA, but how can a person not match their own DNA exactly?

If I pulled out a hair and drew blood from my arm and ran a DNA test on both of them, what possible reason(s) could there be for them not being exactly alike?

I will ping you if I find the info. VRWC_minion provided a link that said "very quickly," but didn't say exactly how long "very quickly" is. That was better than any link I had found.

Oops! I hit "private reply" by mistake. Maybe you can post my reply publicly, as I've lost what I wrote. (feeling really dumb, here) I'd like to keep it public so others can disagree or contribute more. Thanks!
