As a pedantic onetime chemistry major, I got to point out that a molecule of water in the liquid state probably has a lifetime in the milliseconds at best. The H's interchange pretty freely. It'd be an interesting combinatorial problem to figure the odds of some dinosaur era molecules reassembling.

Soooo--- what are the chances that I am carrying in me the same water molecule that once passed through Mozart?

Because that is just such a cool thought.

Like maybe I can run to the piano, and quickly jot down a couple of sonatas. An opera maybe before I have to pass it on....
