There's a good reason for this. (And also why I recommend you DON'T try it.)
Your eyes closing every time is your body's automatic response to keep your eyes from flying out of your head from the force caused by the sneeze. Seriously. It's a medical fact.

The last battle to be fought on Canadian soil was the battle of Batoche in 1885.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

The grandfather of Abraham Lincoln was also named Abraham Lincoln.The grandfather was killed at his homestead in Kentucky by Indians,the grandson was
assisinated in Ford's Theatre by John Wilkes Booth.Both grandfather and grandson named one of their sons Thomas.
The American General that the British surrendered to at Yorktown was not Washington but Lincoln,General Benjamin Lincoln.Washington made them surrender to Lincoln for two reasons:
1)Cornwallis pretended to be ill because he did not want the dishonor of surrendering his troops to the 'Rebels' and so Washington decided that he would not accept surrender from a subordinate.
2)It was revenge for Lincoln's humiliating surrender of Charleston earlier.

Americans don't get nearly half of the chocolate/candy bars that Canadians do. I'm dead serious I know this from experience^^ I'm sure it can be vice versa, but the brands that we have, have TONS of variations to them...
神 は、 その 独り 子 を お与え に なった ほど に 世 お愛 された。
独り 子 を 信じる 者 が 一人 も滅 ひない で, 永遠 の 命 お得る ため で ある。
ヨハネ 3:16
