Well, plus not every individual carries the same 26 chromosomes. Or rather they do, but the chromosomes have different genes attached.

I think 26! is even bigger than that: my calculator added two more zeros. In either case, it's a staggering number: two humans can produce far more distinct offspring in one generation than have ever existed on earth.
