Why people say "Bless You" after someone Sneeze's??
 

Absurd can any1 put the reason...they such a darned thing..haha :thumbup:


*Pssssf*

Apparently your heart stops for like 5 milliseconds...

So they bless you for still being alive an shit.

OMFG...I just sneezed for real as I wrote that...LMAFO!!!!!

[/is serious] ^

LOL...................

there used to be a belief that when you sneeze, your soul "escapes" out your body. So, they say "bless you" to ensure the well-being of your soul.

LOOOOOOOOOL^^^^*bless you...*

Holy shit, I seriously cannot believe that just happened...

Some ppl also say kazoontight...

...except spelt really crazily.

Are you serious maybe its just a myth....or has more indepht reason but somehow is weird..

LMAO u taking German classes i see

I think its actually the stoppage-of-the-heart thing..

..its a lot less mythical.

that's the explanation I read once

ur heart doesn't stop when you sneeze.............................

Also can someone sneeze with their eyes OPEN?????????

seems like a reflex response to shut ur eyes


involuntary



wassup wit all the sneezin questions dawg

Sneezing with your eyes open - Impossible.

Heart stopping for 5 milliseconds while sneezing - Possible.

Spektikul taking german classes - Only for goggles...lol. :wft:

there's nothing biological that I can think of that would cause your heart to stop at all while sneezing...and I've never heard anything about that in all my years of studying biology and science...

iz one of those myths..perhaps

Heres another fun fact...

If you cant get a sneeze to come out, look at the sun.

DUH!

Sneezing is when your soul tries to escape...saying bless you crams it back in place :thumbup:

LMAO @ kazoontight...it's Gesundheit...*took German @ school*

If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they can pop out.

ye thats what i was going to say!!!:D

yo Q jus to let you know...the blob...i unno about U.S phrases but UK women here refer to "the blob" as their period lol...seeing as we info crazy lately here

LMFAO :laugh:

I guess Sneezin can turn out deadly.. :laugh:

Because sneezing is a sin. Question answered, thread can be closed now *blows whistle*. :)

Cuz in the old times they would say that means you're sick or about to be sick so they say god bless you so you might get blessed and wont get sick.

peace
