While your heart may stop, people began saying it because they believed that while sneezing, a part of the soul was expelled, and they didn't want the rest of the soul tainted.

Can you imagine how much you could sell a can of swastika spaghetti for to a WWII collector?

Anyway, I have to admit that stupid lists of things like that are my secret vice. I have a website URL in favourites with literally a few hundred just like these ones, but it's in my old computer.

Cool list, love your work.

Now, I'm not a doctor, but I have known doctors, and doesn't your heart generally stop between beats anyway? As in, like, it doesn't do anything? Makes that fact no. 5 even less interesting.

As for number 11, two weeks kissing doesn't seem like a very long time over a whole life. But I guess we gotta factor the lipless freaks and such into the equation.
