Sorry, guys, but I was referring to the dreamers who sniff the air in hopes of inhaling the same air (as well as their particals) as elvis,van gough,einstien,plato, etc..

No offense taken.

I'm a dreamer and I'm ok with it.

But do you also believe the bedlum's statement:



... That's what I refered to as "dreamer"!!!

Well we all inhale and exhale everyday...always have and always will, till we take our last breath.

... of course! But hoping to inhale the same air (as well as their particals) as elvis,van gough,einstien,plato, etc.. is most presumtuous -- bedlum1 is a dreamer!

those were examples...yes i am a dreamer..nothing wrong with that..bur i also study science and the rate of our breathing plus life span divided by the volume of our atmosphere says we would breathe everyone

I do get the point your attempting to make here...

become more educated maybe you'd see the whole picture....noones sniffin in hopes of anything..just a statement that they have mathmaticaly figured out the air exchange of humans and the sharing of the same air particles

im just stating the mathmatical science of it...it really is a small world..

no hoping involved ,no wishing, no dreaming....mathmatical fact....blessed be

So, are you appealing to science?
You must've missed my earlier post:
...at some point you have breathed in the same air (as well as their particals) as elvis,van gough,einstien,plato, etc..

... and also that of hitler, various murderers, numerous idiots, etc... In fact, since the latter outnumber the former at the rate of at least 1:1000,000,000 it would be safe to say at some point you have breathed in the same air (as well as their particals) as 10 mental hospitals!!!

i read it and i responded to it...yes, yes we do. if you live to be 80 you pretty much have shared the same air molicule of everyone

I believe you, but how come I can't smell the bad breath of Plato (a well known fact), or the foot odour of Joan of Arc?

In fact, over twelve-billion-trillion particles I inhale in every breath have exited the rear of all people ever alive in the world, and their combined volume of armpit-odour particles (at twenty degrees Centigrade and at one atmospheric pressure) would fill a balloon the size of Yoshemite National Park and the Grand Canyon, combined.

Don't dispair, John:
some of that air could actually come out of the rear of elvis,van gough,einstien,plato...

Air is not a molecule. It is a mixture. It primarily contains Nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Most of the molecules in air are involved in cycles where they are being locked into solids and liquids and then released. Their is no mathematical determination of shared air it is impossible. A nitrogen atom in the air 100 years ago now may be a part of my arse.

That's true, except for argon, helium, and the other noble gases. (Inert gases.) They just keep on going in-and-out of people's lungs. And of course foxes', rabbits, cockroaches and trilobites. And elephants and mosquitos. And tapeworms and N1H1 viri. You get the picture.

Make that "metabolic system" instead of "lungs". Viri obviously don't have lungs, and while I'm pretty sure mosquitoes have them, I couldn't swear if tapeworms have them.

But helium and argon and stuff I could swear go into each and come out the same way as they went in.

I'm going to get a gas mask and fart you people off the face of the earth.

Actually, I smelled something strange yesterday...

Could that be you, JB ? ? ?

Rats! My diabolical plan has been discovered.

You'd better eat a lot of beans the previous night (sorry, no pun intended) because:

You'd need to push out three billion thousand hectolitres (about a hundred billion thousand gallons) of air at 320,000 Km per hour, (about 200,000 miles an hour) in half a millisecond, given the accelerating distance of your Anus; in order to fight air resistance and accelerate pretty well the entire atmosphere to no.2. escape velocity at a speed that would, by air friction, pull all living things with it into space.

To achieve this, your bowels will have to perform twelve billion giganewtons, which, when considering that you have half a millisecond to achieve this, would be equal to the power of two thousand pieces of twelveth grade hydrogen bombs going off at the same time.

Compare this to the world arsenal of 400,000 hydrogen bombs held in bays (kept at bay) by the two superpowers at the conclusion of the nineteen seventies. Anybody who reads only the press would have no knowledge of the tally now, even as a ballpark figure. I suggest nothing has changed, except hot air blown by politicians. Which in and by itself is also not a change.
