Very Interesting:The Photic Sneeze

Approximately one third of the population when
exposed to bright light will suddenly sneeze.
This reflex is the Photic sneeze. University Of
California researchers conclude that if the root
cause for this could be found then it may lead
to cures for migraines and epilepsy.

Epilepsy seizures have been brought on by flashing
lights. Migraines can be triggered by light sensit-
ivities.

Researchers conclude that if they can find the light
sneeze reflex gene then possibly they could get to
the cause of epilepsy and migraines as well.

Holy Cow Bypass Endless Phone Menus

We all try to avoid the dreaded call to
the credit card company, bank or cable
provider, etc. yes?

Try this next time to bypass the phone
menu abyss. Just start swearing a little.
I know some of us do that anyway, however it
seems that some of these phone systems are
now recognizing this dialog "bad words" as
a frustrated customer and connect you
directly to an actual human.
