Well you gotta work for them! If you can pick which one of these is true...I will send you 1,000 frubals.

A) I have been arrested 13 times.

B) I love being in wide...open spaces.

C) My favorite movie ever.....Scary Movie 2!!!

D) I will absolutely flip out of someone says half past 2 instead of Two-Thirty.

E) I have a strange fascination with the word "tissue".

F) I have Britney Spears' "Hit me Baby...One More Time", on my iPod.

G) I'm allergic to "Calamari" (squid).

H) When I sneeze, I must do it THREE TIMES!!! If I'm only able to naturally sneeze twice I will fake the third! The fate of the world depends on it!

Good luck. :)

(Actually I think I'll give the person 1,300 coins, I don't want em.


After people lock in to each answer, I will send the coins.

NO! I hate wide open spaces...I like small contained spaces!

Funny but not my favorite.

D) I will absolutely flip out of someone says half past 2 instead of Two-Thirty.

Tishoo...Tissyou...no...not really.

F) I have Britney Spears' "Hit me Baby...One More Time", on my iPod.
Don't own an iPod...but if I did... :p

G) I'm allergic to "Calamari" (squid).
I love that stuff!

There is a superstition that if you sneeze three times you get a wish. When I was a kid I sneezed in pairs, but I really wanted to get the wish, so I willed myself to sneeze a third time. Didn't work at first but eventually that's what I ended up doing. Now, I sneeze in triplets - can't help myself. :rolleyes:

I sneeze from bright lights. I read once that the optical nerve and the nerve that triggers sneezing run adjacent to each other and that one can trigger the other in some people.

The photic sneeze reflex. I know a couple of other people with that reaction. :)

It's actually not the optic nerve but the nerve that causes your pupils to contract in response to bright lights. In other words, it's not the sensory nerve running from retina to brain; it's a nerve running the other way, from central nervous system to periphery. In some people, the nerve controlling the pupillary light reflex and the nerve controlling the sneeze reflex are supposedly a little cross-wired so that the stimulus that causes pupil contraction (bright lights) causes both pupil contraction and sneezing. pretty cool!

I enjoy the first seven or so sneezes (for real!). Then it starts getting dangerous...Every get a sneezing fit while driving? That's some serious business in traffic.

hey, I was a neurobiologist for several years. I ought to remember at least some of it! :p

Yes, I've scared myself a few times that way. I rarely sneeze more than three or four times but sometimes they're violent! Supposedly your photic sneeze reflex is a big concern with pilots.

First seven or so? How many times generally do you sneeze?
