is it just me? an ocd thing?
weird facts.
the count is 99% divisible by 2.
its never a low count.
its almost always 8 or 10 sneezes. never 9. no 7's.
why the hell do we sneeze?
millions of years ago we didnt sneeze and then we evolved the ability to sneeze. it must have been a natural response to something, something was happening to our bodies when we werent sneezing that wasnt good.
have a great weekend ya'll. think good thoughts. a few more months and that orange monster and his evil family will be gone.

(15,526 posts)I usually stop counting if I have a "sneezing fit" beyond two, which is pretty rare, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's always an even number.
It's never just ONE for me.

I frequently stop it at one.
Also, sneezing does not have to have a beneficial effect. Natural selection preserves those variations that are beneficial and those that are useless but not harmful.

Before I retired, I sometimes walked out on staff meetings rather than disrupt them. So, there was an upside to sneezing fits.
