Or that a demon was being expelled from the body during a sneeze. The heart doesn't stop during a sneeze. The intraabdominal pressure change causes an brief arrhythmia. The same happens everytime you breathe in or out. When you change breaths from inhaling to exhaling, your heart slows down. North America and south America don't start and end with the same letters. People can have the same fingerprints. Public speaking is the #1 fear. Death is #2. New breeds of dogs have been domesticated. Along with ferrets. Julius Caesar wasn't a king. You can't fracture a rib from sneezing. I know two people who can lick their elbow. Put a pig on its back and it can look at the sky. Per fiber, heart muscle is stronger than the tongue. As is the gluteus Maximus. FYI. Actually, people say bless you after a sneeze because they believed the soul could escape the body and be inhabited by a demon during a sneeze.

It's stupid say that your heart stops, as it is a fluctuation - a beat. a sneeze causes a brief arrhythmia. Since your heart is a pump, it's just the off-beat that's prolonged briefly. It's not a stop. People say "Bless you," because they are religious dolts. "If a statue of a warrior on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has a all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes." - This is not true, although it was at one point. The most obvious issue is that people do not only make statues of dead people. "Honey – This is the only food that doesn’t spoil." - May herbs do not spoil; tea leaves, for example. If you are talking about loss of flavor, honey does indeed lose flavor in the same manner. "Elephants are the only animals that can’t jump." - Have you ever seen a whale jump? A slug? There are numerous animals that have no legs or simply do not have the musculature to jump. Shakespeare invented the word ‘assassination’ and ‘bump’. - The word "assassination" comes from the Old Urdu word "hashsashin." I'm going to stop here even though there are probably others that are blatantly wrong - these are just off the top of my head. Maybe you should google this stuff. “People say “Bless you” when you sneeze because when you
