basically, when you sneeze, you die for about 1/2 a second
and god chooses to bring you back to life
that's why people say god bless you
and because you die for 1/2 second while your sneezing, that's why you can't sneeze with your eyes open.

The Birmingham Health System states, "If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force (while you sneeze), they will pop out. Suppressing a sneeze can be harmful, particularly to your ears."
I learned that if you hold in a sneeze while pinching your nose, while it relieves the pain in your ears, "it briefly blocks the blood flow to your heart".
I wouldn't hold it in if I were you...
Yes, you can die from holding in your sneeze, because your sneeze can go about 90 miles per hour and so if you do hold it in you can suffer from brain damage!
No way! But it really does depend where you sneeze on it. If you sneeze inside of it onto its electronic parts and stuff, then there is a chance it will be damaged. But if you sneeze on its cover, it is safe. Interesting question!
No, but when you sneeze your heart stops beating for one beat
you die

reading your question precisely, if you sneeze, Ican keep my eyes open no problem. My friend told me if you sneeze with your eyes open they pop out
they say bless you because when you sneeze your heart stops's there thanking god that you did not die
It means that you can die from it... :(
People in general do not "sneeze and die on gravy." Such a thing might very rarely occur if an individual has some sort of severe allergy to an ingredient in the gravy.
You'd implode and die.
If you sneeze on a Tuesday, you will kiss a stranger. The whole rhyme goes: If you sneeze on Monday, you sneeze for danger; Sneeze on a Tuesday, kiss a stranger; Sneeze on a Wednesday, sneeze for a letter; Sneeze on a Thursday, something better; Sneeze on a Friday, sneeze for sorrow; Sneeze on a Saturday, see your sweetheart to-morrow.
Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!" ^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".
