When you sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond - this is why people say "bless you"

I'm sure people say 'bless you' because people used to think that when you sneezed, it was your body expelling demons and evil spirits out of your mouth. Saying 'bless you' meant 'may God bless you' so that the evil spirits couldn't get back in.		2010-06-19 11:17:00

Looking this up on wikipedia led me to the word, or name really, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakit anatahu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakit anatahu).

That in itself is interesting but the pronuciation (http://www.korero.maori.nz/sound/places/f-t-w-k-o-t-p-w-k-t-t.mp3) is the really interesting part. Just listen for yourself and see if you hear anything that sounds like a certain other word.

Due to the pressure created by the heart sending blood to their heads, Giraffes cannot move their neck too quickly, and must be very careful when lying down otherwise they'd lose the pressure and die >.<

Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.
