How come when people sneeze, we say "bless you"? I mean, they're spreading germs all over, they should have stayed home. Shouldn't we say "screw you!" or "damn you!"? And what about these women that Plank speaks of? If they go to sneeze, do they cover their mouth?......... I mean, we now know where that hand has been! I bet they just let it fly, and some stupid chick in the next cell says "bless you".
.......... not weird enough?

Do you think infants get confused when they sneeze?

How come when people make an analogy to the battle of David versus Goliath, David is the underdog and Goliath is the favorite? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The way I remember things, David took down Goliath without suffering a single scratch and he was divinely destined to win. Seriously, can Goliath possibly be a bigger underdog?

Hey, I think I know the answer to this. A person in medicine told me this while working last week so here goes:
"Bless you" comes from the old days when the plague was common. When you started to sneeze that was often times the first sign that you were getting the plague, so people would say bless you in hopes of ridding the disease. It just kept carrying on 'til modern days
There's tons of speculation on this one though

So, this one is actually a personal experience...
You know you've been in the bathroom for too long when the motion-sensor lights turn off due to inactivity!

this is the version i've always believed:
Another version says that people used to believe that your soul can be thrown from your body when you sneeze,[1] that sneezing otherwise opened your body to invasion by the Devil[3] or evil spirits,[2] or that sneezing was your body's effort to force out an invading evil spirit.[1] Thus, "bless you" or "God bless you" is used as a sort of shield against evil.
cause, you know, people are batshit insane.

Sort of’ is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler. Sort of - it doesn’t really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after ‘I love you’ or ‘You’re going to live’ or ‘It’s a boy.’

The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades. Especially if you're playing with really bad guessers.
