    Is it strange that I can sneeze just by looking into something bright?

      @pinhooves I used to have that happen an awful lot before the switch to CFLs.

        @thelastgherkin Is it bad that I sometimes *try* to find a source of light just so I can sneeze? :3

          @pinhooves Not bad per se. I mean, sometimes you really have to sneeze. Actually wait then you'd get coated in snot.
