I've never heard electrons used in the example before, but the idea that you share some of the same atoms that made up Jesus or Mozart is not just some abstract concept. Statistically, there are so many atoms that make up just one body, that the idea that a few of them made their way into your body is not just possible, it's practically statistically inevitable.

well.. duh ?

we have upwards of ten trillion cells in the human body (conservative estimate), and an additional one hundred trillion bacterial cells residing inside our bodies (many of which are in the gut).

There are approximately as many atoms in a cell as there are human cells in the human body, depending on who's estimate you use, so the number of atoms in the body would be 1.1 x 10^27. Most of the atoms in our body are oxygen and carbon atoms, so if we guesstimate that the average atom in our body has 15 electrons, we therefore have 1.5 x 10^28 electrons zinging around in our bodies at close to the speed of light.
