Just to be a prick, though I understand what John was saying, I could say that that last statement is false. It's just that this is a very cool thing to me, and it was as good a segue as a guy could ask for. Explosions have created the strongest, most intelligent life forms, as well as the simplest.
The carbon that we and other life are built from and the iron that carries the oxygen in our blood was created when a star exploded and scattered those atoms throughout the cosmos.
We're literally made from dead stars. Fascinating thought to me.
