@enque,

How was FGCC in those days?

Now to the topic:

People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond.

'Bless you' when you sneeze came from time of Bubonic Plaque in 590

Sneezing was on of  the first signs; and people will say 'God Bless you'; since they fear this person will soon die.
