I have to say that I am a bit disturbed by the bug eating and rat multiplying
ideas. On top of that my 4.5yo dd is constantly trying to lick her elbow. I
don't know if it is the contortionist in her or what.
Thanks for the comedic interlude, Karin.

I can almost do it (lick my elbow, that is). My tongue reaches about 1 inch from the tip of my elbow.
I don't know if I believe the bug one. I can't be sure, of course, but I don't think I've ever eaten any bugs, awake or asleep! Okay, maybe once or twice while bike riding, definitely not 70 insects or ANY spiders... :o)

Since that one's not at all what I've heard and read always, I question the
others.
People have been saying "God bless you" to sneezers a long, long time. How
long have they known about milliseconds? Not long. And IF a heart stops
during a sneeze, how would medieval people have known that?
"Spirit" is from the same root as "respiration" and SO much of person's
spirit/breath is out of them during a sneeze, the "bless you" is said (could
also be untrue, but it's been the common explanation everywhere I've ever
seen it) to be a charm against the devil entering when you breathe back in.
They could have had that idea, but measuring heartbeats in milliseconds, I
don't think so.
-=-Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria
in your ear by 700 time-=-
Does sleeping on your own pillow do the same then? Talking on the phone?
There's another list that goes around by e-mail that's not funny enough to be
really funny, and it claims to be the history of various phrases, but it's
not. It's just made-up stuff. I like obvious parody humor, but things that
are made up and passed off as historical make learning harder.
Critical thinking... sometimes I wish it wasn't so necessary.

i'd heard that because sneezing is often the first symptom of illness, people
began to bless each other to protect the sneezer from what was viewed as a threat
of sickness and, with complications, possible death.
