Why say "Bless you!" when someone sneezes?
Have you ever wondered why people say "Bless you!" when you sneeze? I became curious and searched for a reasonable answer too, until someone told me that while you sneeze, your heart stops for a that duration; and that is the reason why you cannot keep your eyes open when you sneeze. I have never thought of that before (when I was 16 years old), and started paying close attention when I sneezed (because I wanted to test it - and certainly, I could not keep my eyes open while I sneezed).
Try it yourself and let me know if you can keep your eyes open while you sneeze :).
