    a sneeze is 1/8 of an orgasm

    Aint fun all the time...I sneezed and farted at the same time the other day. Felt like I had been raped by a guy called Butch in the hole and the nose.

    Me arse it is. I've sneezed more that 8 times in succession and I didn't achieve the big O.

    Having said that - yes I agree. Sneezing rules.

    It's really annoying listening to someone else sneeze though. Especially when they're over dramatic about it. Gets on my tits, that does.

    I find it no fun. I get seriouly pissed off.
    I do be trying to do something important and the friggin' sneezing starts.
    I do have to try and keep working while blommin' sneezing. Its really pisses me off.
    If there was a drug available tomorrow that guarenteed I'd never sneeze again, I'd take it in a flash.

    I just hate it when you have a sneeze but it goes away :(

    Sneezes can be such a dick-tease.

    Yeah, but a good orgasm or a great one? A sneeze is the 1/8 of an orgasm from ****ing over pictures of Mary Harney.

    The expression "Bless you" or "god bless(ed) you" etc... apparently comes from the fact that when you sneeze, your heart either misses a beat or flucuates much slower to a stop for micro-seconds.
    Apparently then because your heart then continues on again, you were considered "blessed" because you were further granted life to continue onwards by what ever is your icon of faith!

    Its amazing the useless junk you learn in other places.

    Yes Ive heard about that useless fact somewhere before. But its been said that bless you was a saying against the devil after you sneeze


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭m@cc@


    I would say 90% of my sneezing is done at work and I can only think it's the fricking air-con that's causing it.

    I thought it had to do with the spread of germs during the plague. Sneezing was seen as the start of the plague so 'bless you' was an attempt to stop the disease.

    It isn't. It's immoral.

    Didn't the Pope say something about this recently?

    Nope never heard of it. It must be the irish version!! :pac:

    I only heard about the whole thing with sneezing when looking at the sun recently. But apparently it's very common.

    Typical really. We spend most of the year complaining that it's not sunny, and when it is half of us are allergic to it!

    I think your thinking of "Ring a ring of rosies..."
    That was invented during the plague times.

    Ring a ring a roses (making a ring of roses which becomes..)
    a pocket full of poses (a death wreath)
    ti-shoo
    to-shoo (everyone gets sick)
    we all fall down (dies en-mass)

    Sorry to Wikipedia your ass.

    One explanation holds that the custom originally began as an actual blessing. Gregory I became Pope in 590 as an outbreak of the bubonic plague was reaching Rome. In hopes of fighting off the disease, he ordered unending prayer and parades of chanters through the streets. At the time, sneezing was thought to be an early symptom of the plague. The blessing ("God bless you!") became a common effort to halt the disease.[3]
    A variant of the Pope Gregory I story places it with Pope Gregory VII, then tells the common (though untrue) story of "Ring Around the Rosey" being connected to the same plague.

    Dang, another mystery solved.
    All I need to know now is who killed Kennedy and see the pics of Princess Margeret (1973) naked in Africa (and the subsequent cover-up) and my life is complete. :D
