Sun Sneeze

"Why do people sneeze or feel like sneezing when they look into the sun?"

It's one of those questions that you might muse over for a moment or two, but never get an answer for. Useless information, right? But then again, isn't that the same thing as trivia? And don't people love trivia? 

This afternoon I was sitting with my dog bumbling about Facebook, when little Cosmo here opened up his chops and nearly split his head in half with a giant yawn. It looked so satisfying, I had to try it too.

Side Note: I have a habit of googling anything that pops into my head when I'm using my laptop, so I asked my good friend, "Why is yawning contagious?" 

Yawning led to sneezing, and I was just a big mess from all the involuntary actions.  Google gave me this page:

I hope I helped you solve one of life's unsolved mysteries!
