There are more stars in the visible universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches in the world.

OK, it's really a mathematics equivalence, rather than a scientific fact, but Euler's Identity:

e^iฯ€^ + 1 = 0

As you established that is not true, however you can add some of that carbon from some body and add it to the iron from the blood of 400 other human bodies so you can forge one nice sword.
