There seem to be a lot of opinions about how the term originated.

When I was in school I learned it came from the time of the Plague in England as sneezing was one of the first symptoms. So they were basically saying "I hope you don't die"

Since moving to America I have heard a whole load of other reasons for it relating to spirits and demons.

I just checked wikipedia and they seem to agree with me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bless_you

Where does this demon idea come from?

Is the demon thing just something Americans invented?

I have heard that you can buy something like a lamp that shines "stars" all around your room so it looks like you're out camping somewhere. I want my room to be filled with "planets and stars", etc. so that it can look like outer space when I turn my lights out. Where can I get something that will help me make my room like that?

Personally, I can't STAND Angela and I'm so upset that she got imunity! What do you guys think? I'd like to hear every side to it, because I keep questioning myself: do I hate her because she's from Ohio and a ******, therefore giving it a bad name -or- does she actually have some potential for the show?

Pete Rose had an entirely normal career, save for a couple remarkable seasons. His career batting average of .303 is decent, but by no means astounding. His career slugging and OBP of .409 and .375, respectively, would be among the worst of hall-of-famers. Yes, he had a few seasons over .325. But most of his success is attributed to his career hits record, which was gained only because of him sticking around for so long. What kind of an accomplishment is it to "set the record" for most games played, most at-bats, and ONLY set the record for most hits and doubles. Ty Cobb, for example, would have ended up with over 5000 hits with that many at-bats. And to play yourself, as player-manager, when your last four seasons you haven't slugged over .340, have hit about .260 and have 0 home runs with about 35 rbis each year is disgraceful. You would be benched on a major league team with those numbers. Oh, and, for "Charlie Hustle," a steal to caught stealing ratio of 4:3 is abhorrent.

Any free, easy to use sites out there for Mac? I have everything set up on GoLive, so it'd be great if I could just copy/paste the code.

I cant find an option in my Nextel voicemail that enables me to check my messages but leave some of them as "unheard" or "unchecked". Is there a way to do this?

Is that the reason in the spike in crime in cities like Dallas, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, LA?

These illegals are now unemployed, and there are only so many lawns to mow and peach trees to pick.
