What a fun thread! Is this true about the sneezing thing? I remember being told in school that the reason "Bless You" (or Gesundheit, meaning "health" in German) was because back in the time of the Bubonic Plague, they thought sneezing was a symptom or a sign that you were going to die...so they were blessing you or wishing you health...hmm? anyone know what the real deal is?
