There are also a couple of other interesting columns on sneezing at this site:
(1) Why do I sneeze after every orgasm?
http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_191.html
(2) Why do some people sneeze when going out into bright light?

It's funny but, for some reason, I usually sneeze each time a message from TIPS is
received by our server. Strange!
