My friend and I didn't really buy the whole "spirit leaves the body when sneezing" theory. We would scream "satan curse you" when the other sneezed.
Maybe the other students in the class should do that.

How does the universe see our hearts?

"Bless you" is traditional and common courtesy.

I don't think it's necessary and only do it when it's convenient.

And if some sick dude comes into my office and sneezes or coughs, he might a "screw you" instead. Followed up with Lysol sprayed in his face and kicked in the ass on the way out. :evil:
