    I heard that in every breath you take, there's a molecule from the breath of everyone who has ever lived ...

    Sorry, does not compute.

    Going on 7 billion people currently living, and possibly hundreds of billions dead?
    And all those breaths combine in every single breath we take?
    How about those that were just born, whose breath hasn't even left the room yet.
    Those that were born and had one breath of life, only to die.
    And too many other non sequiturs.
    Nope.

    There's actually more people alive now than have ever lived ... But, I'm just passing on what I heard.

    And not entirely implausible .... If I'm looking at I right a liter of air contains a about 26 billion, billion molecules

    2 interesting tidbits of information.

    I'm wondering how 'they' know how many people have lived, ever, in the whole of history.
    They like to guess at things, and present them as fact.

    If 1 litre of air contains that many, imagine the number in the entire atmosphere.
    To say that every breath we take contains a molecule from every person that has ever been alive, to me, is very fanciful. It would require some very special mixing.

    Utica, IL at the Love's.

    I have a nice light load that delivers tomorrow morning.
    It seems to be a driver assist unload, with me pushing stuff out to the back of the trailer.
    We'll see how that goes.
    It is 12.5 k in 9 pieces. There better be a way to roll those suckers to the back, because I can't push over 1,000 pounds by myself unless it is on wheels.

    They say all the water, coffee and soda we drink was formerly a portion of somebody else's pee.

    I love 'they'

    'They' say a lot of things.
    And everything 'they' say seems to be nothing more than fluff meant to fill one's head with uselessness.
    Who cares that we may breathe the same molecules that someone else had done previously?
    Who cares if my coffee or soda or water also has a molecule of water from someone else's pee?
    It doesn't matter in the slightest.

    Or, does it.

    If recycling is so good for the planet, isn't it just as good for us personally?
