3. The name of all the continents ends with the same letter that they start with.

Thank you for an illuminating post, Christino. However, I would like to disagree with this:

Christino:


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

Not true.

Origin.
1. Ancient man believed that his breath was also his soul or "essence of life." When God made man, he "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." A rapid departure of that breath--a sneeze--is the same as expelling life from one's body. Also, it leaves a vacuum in the head which evil spirits can enter.

2. Roman citizens feared sneezing when a plague hit their city during the reign of Pope Gregory the Great. Since they regarded the sneeze as a sure sign of approaching sickness, Pope Gregory initiated the use of the phrase "God bless you" to shield sneezers from any ill effects.
