In reality, a sneeze is simply an involuntary nervous response to nasal irritation. According to this nifty science blog entry, the sneeze impulse affects a variety of body parts, including the abdomen, chest, neck, and face. During a sneeze, the impulses that travel through your face cause your eyelids to blink. This response is entirely automatic. There's nothing you can do about it. Sneezing puts a lot of pressure on your head and respiratory system, so blinking is probably a protective mechanism.

It is against the law in Texas, NJ, Iowa, and 25 other states for gay men to have sex of any kind. The result of a man having sex with another man is punishable by fines and up to 6 months in jail. it is, however, LEGAL for a male in Texas to have sex with his sheep.
Oh crap, if that's the case then I'm gonna get thrown in jail lol. Anyway, I live in Texas, and I got around 2 thounsand gay friends that had sex with each other and nobody gave a bullcrap about it. :/ And to hell with earth if I'm ever going to have sex with my stupid crackhead sheep.

Anyway, talking about sneezing..

When you sneeze, every function of your body stops, including your heart.

So that means we've died so many times but never noticed lol.
