  2. I have not got the foggiest idea. But I have also been wondering. And you can add, because it goes along with your question...Why do they trumpet the house down when they blow their nose? Good grief the sounds they make! Hopefully somebody can explain.

  3. Men do everything loudly - except the English.

  4. I don't know, but i do know it is not all they do loud.........what about snoring, and Alf can/will fill you in on another

  5. They want to be sure everyone hears it and says, "Bless You."

  6. Beats me too, I think there is not much that they can do softly!

  7. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

    Ooh, bless me, couldn't resist it!!!! LOL!!!!

  8. for the same reason they f**t so loudly, because they are men and they can.

  9. because men want to sneeze.

  10. Sneezing seems to me to be most likely when we inhale a suspension of irritating particles, such as pepper or mold spores or pollen, and the purpose of it seems to be expelling the particles before they can get down into the lungs, preventing the particles from depositing themselves on the mucous membranes of our air passages, and scouring away some of the particles which have already been deposited.

    I think vocalizing enhances the last two functions. It does so by inducing turbulence in the outgoing air stream at the pinch point of the contracted vocal cords. Most of the time, breathing in and out involves laminar air flow, but one of the characteristics of laminar flow is that velocity of the air drops smoothly to zero near the walls of the passage no matter how great the average velocity of the air is. If the flow of air in a sneeze remained laminar, any particle near the wall would continue to settle out, and there would be no scouring effect at all.

    Turbulent flow, on the other hand, can and typically does have high velocities right next to the walls, and all those sneezed-out tiny droplets of moisture ordinarily absent from exhaled air testify to its scouring power.

    I think the vibration of the walls of the air passages induced by the sound also enhance the scouring effect, but to a lesser degree.

  11. I don't know, but worse than his sneezing is his coughing. When he starts coughing I have to cover my ears as it actually hurts and the cats all run outside in 'take cover' mode. Oh, they do that when he sneezes too, as it sounds like a large cracker going off. When you don't see he's about to sneeze, you get a huge fright. Seriously. I'm not even going to start with the snoring. lol.

    I always say he's on a higher decibel than the rest of us, because he's such a big built man (ex-Noordkaap-farmer).

  12. rofl good question. but what does this have to do with south africa O_o
