I read somewhere that it's because you only breath out of one at a time, they take turns. One closes off when it gets too dry and the other takes over.

This is easy to dispell. Put your finger under your nostrils. Do you feel air coming out of one nostril or two?

Also when you're sick, and one side is clogged, you feel like you can't fully breathe. Then you blow all that shit out, and you can breathe again for about 5 minutes before you gotta blow your nose again.

No, it is actually a thing. It's not completely closed off, but you have erectile tissue that does switch from one side to the other. You should be able to feel that one side's wind is stronger than the other, but it will be less noticeable as the force you blow out with increases.

It's not entirely wrong, when your nose is clogged the clogged side does on occasion "switch" to the other nostril. When you breathe out with your nose clogged the air oftentimes does come out of only a single nostril.

I heard this on a radio program, I think about 20 years ago now... I remember they then went over to the weather guy, who they jokingly asked which nostril they were currently breathing from.

I was impressed with the weather guy, who hadn't heard their segment on the nostrils, and still wittingly responded, "the middle one".
