Do some of your brain cells die when you sneeze?
Brain cells do NOT die when a person sneezes. First, if you observe a baby and toddler and counted how many times they sneeze before 2 years old, if your question was true, NO one would have a brain left! Second, brain cells only 'die' under certain conditions, including:lack of blood flow to the brain (such as stroke, TIA)lack of glucose to brain cellsbrain swelling such as after a severe head injury

How many words can the human brain process per minute?
Functional word processing, "Reading" is the general way our brain processes words. Under this assumption, you're asking about the maximum reading comprehension speed. The action potential of the human brain varies across many demographics. Factors are dependent on brain development, disabilities and genetic predispositions. The average human brain, within a normal standard distribution model, can process between 5 and 6 times your sustainable typing speed. Typing speed seem to be indicative of our word processing efficiency, but not entirely dependant. If you can type 60 (wpm) @ 90%, then reading comprehension is likely 300-350 wpm @90%. (average) The upper range for effective word comprehension is between 600-715 wpm. (very rare)
What part of the brain make you feel good?
The Limbic System "The limbic system is a complex set of structures which lies on both sides and underneath the thalamus, just under the cerebrum.

It's under hormonal control (which is mostly under brain control). An entire collection of hormones: Progesterone oestrogen follicle stimulating hormone luteinizing hormone prolactin oxytocin Human placental lactogen at least.
Where is the brain found in the human body?
In the back. See the Related Link for a picture showing the location of the brain.
