Regarding the sneezing and “bless you”. The heart thing is one of the possible histories of the practise, but it is at least as old as 77 AD (first recorded written reference), and most probably much older. How would they figure out if your heart had stopped beating for such a short period of time? Not that it actually does mind you, but assume it does… doesn’t really strike me as a good explaination. Some others:

So galazy, the link you provided do have the same concept in the third point of the common explanation para…….I think that is one kind of the explanation for what happens while sneezing. It can be the fact….right..
Nice Facts dude , keep em coming .
I was always taught that it was belived that the devil was forcing his way into your body when you let down your guard during a sneeze and the bless you was to protect the sneezer.
“taught” what you say is the explanation for the sneeze, but in real the heart stops for a second.
these facts are wrong! i have seen someone lick their elbow! you are a LIER!!!!!!!
Dear Prince,
Atleast, I have seen no one licking there elbow, and even if someone is licking, he or she may be gifted with some different kind of body figure
princess you cant even spell
ok why is it saying 9.12 its quarter past 4 !
it is not impossable to lick your elbow someone in labrador west,Newfoundland can lick there elbow so you should take that fact off it is not true her name is danielle Brown she is 15
You say bless you to a sneeze because people thought your soul was going to get out. Similar to crossing yourself when you yawn (not really done anymore) to keep demons out.
I have a friend that can lick his elbow, but then again, he can pop his shoulders out. Great facts!
very nice how much
There is actually studies that say your heart does not stop while sneezing but if you sneeze too many times, your heart can become out of rhythm for a short time. It’s wrong plain and simple.
