i don't believe those are all true..
the one about your heart stopping...
http://www.snopes.com/language/phrases/blessyou.htm
The heart was believed to momentarily stop during a sneeze (it doesn't), thus the "Bless you!" was uttered either as a supplication for life to return or as a congratulation upon its successful restart.


Though the rest seem like they could be true... I just don't think the one about your heart stopping when you sneeze is true (based on this snopes article... and I had done an 8th grade science fair project on it and my conclusions pointed to the heart not stopping)

and on the knee cap one:
