quick poll about sneezing and sunlight.

Bright sunlight tends to make me sneeze. This is called the photic sneeze reflex, and it's relatively common.

How about you?

Per http://www.allergycapital.com.au/Pages/Sneeze.html:

Some people sneeze when they pluck their eyebrows, get cold or go out into the sun. "Sun sneezing (Photic sneezing)" often runs in families, and occurs in around one in four people. The world record for sneezing is held by Donna Griffiths from Worstershire in the UK, who sneezed for 978 days in a row, stopping on 16 September 1983 (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com )
