Anyways......Way back in the olden days, holding out your hands was a way 2 show others that you were unarmed. Well, it has since been modified into shaking hands.

People said I bless you so the devil didnt possess you when you sneezed by flying in your nose, lol
It's outdated yet we still say it to be polite which is rather silly..it's like saying bless you because you coughed, farted and belched

Actually dtsweet your version is the urban myth twist of the actual facts.

It actually came from back in the days of the plague. One of the tell tell signs of having the plague was uncontrollable sneezing, people would often say BLESS YOU to those thought to have it by noticing this. So saying bless you was pretty much a way of telling some1 u knew that they were done 4.

thats one theory
theres others

For the most part, the various sneeze responses originated from ancient superstitions. Some people believed that a sneeze causes the soul to escape the body through the nose. Saying "bless you" would stop the devil from claiming the person's freed soul. Others believed the opposite: that evil spirits use the sneeze as an opportunity to enter a person's body. There was also the misconception that the heart momentarily stops during a sneeze (it doesn't), and that saying "bless you" was a way of welcoming the person back to life.

isn't history great?..lol, none of us were there, so one urban myth is another's gospel lol
