Superstition had it that at the moment of a sneeze, all thoughts are momentarily banished from the concious mind, leaving an opening for the Devil to get in. I think it goes back to the second century.
you dont say "god bless you" we say ga/ble/shoo" which is something in german.
because ur heart stops when u sneeze, and its believed that if u say "god bless you" and it wont kill you.
