    Well I can invent a few things and then you wouldnt know ANY of the stuff.

    Some are interesting but would have to seek the validity some are just totally false.

    Wow, glad to oblige all. I'm happy you all enjoyed it! And no way anyone can sneeze with their eyes open. It's a biological trigger inside of you, same reason you can't exhale while yawning, your body just will not allow it.

    Also, the thing about the american flag on the Canadian bill...it was a $10 released a few years ago that caused the commotion, but it is not a US flag...it is some old school flag from when Canada was younger.

    This stuff is neat, but I doubt it is all true. good read though.
