    First, I would like to know why "Don't Stop Believin'" is as pervasive as it is now. It started awhile ago - before the White Sox used it as their theme song - and I DON'T KNOW WHY. It is only a decent song, in my opinion. What's the deal?

    Secondly, does anyone else wonder how many accidents have been caused by an ill-timed sneeze - in, for example, mid-turn? I feel like it has to have happened.

    hehe. Now this is the topic of the Century.

    Yawning and sneezing are bad.

    Hey don't be ripping on my boy Zac - heh. We don't want to scare him from doing threads in the future. :p ;)

    Can't help you Zac on the first part but I have wondered many times myself on the second. I am guessing at least 20.

    I believe there was a law case precedent that you don't have to shoulder responsibility if sneeze was the cause for the accident, because sneeze unlike heart attacks are not foreseeable.

    Now that's neat.

    I think that song gained some of its popularity from Family Guy.

    You can't have your eye open and sneeze at the same time.

    The theory is, that your eye closes as a built in protection/reaction... because the force of a sneeze would cause your eyes to pop out. :eek: <--- did he just sneeze? Of course since it is a forced mechanism, I doubt it's been proven.

    I will never stop believing that you may just be allergic to Journey...

    Or the smell of wine and cheap perfume.

    1. I downloaded the song on msn music (meaning I actually shell out money for it) after hearing it on family guy and laguna beach (don't judge me :p ) on the same night. Now it's also my ringtone (that I also paid for) and I'm freaking addicted to that song.


    2. It's scary

    What a strange thread. Why would someone start a thread with such random tidbits?





    By the way, I have very very strange looking genitals. In fact, I have a 3rd nut.
