If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.

Really? O-o I'm surprised I haven't died already then, I used to suppress sneezes all of the time. x3

My sister just showed me this, but in the Speak Now album book of Taylor Swift, if you put all the randomly capitalized letters together in the lyrics, it spells out what the song is about.
I don't like Taylor Swift, but that's pretty interesting.

The thing where everyone thinks if you keep an eye open during a sneeze, you'll pop you're eyeball out.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.

You're eyeball is protected by bone, and I'm pretty sure a thin layer of skin, and flesh will NOT hold it back.
Honestly, poke around your eyeball. If you feel your eyelids, they're thin.
So, this is in fact a lie.
However, the fact that's it's not true, itself, is true.

It is true , the eye can pop out , not much , but it can and is painful and makes your vision slighlty blurry ... That and it's gross looking. It's easy to fix !! they really just grab ahold of the eye and push it back in...

But no it can happen. Beleive me , I've seen some intresting things as a medical student

A black hole is so powerful that light cannot escape. You would need something faster then the speed of light, which is impossible. Light is the fastest thing in the universe.

It's the fastest thing we've found so far, at least.

A cork can leave a bottle of champagne at 50 miles an hour, carrying enough force to shatter glass. Getting hit in the eye can cause serious damage and every year, a few poor fools go to the ER on New Years because they looked at the cork while they opened the bottle.

Most people think that mammals are the only creatures with fur. Mammals are, in fact, the only vertebrates with fur. Spiders, beetles, wasps, butterflies and many other invertebrates have fur as well. It's pretty obvious, I know, but most people don't seem to realise.

I wonder how that even came about.
