  Are You a Photic Sneezer?

  by cofty in

  2. physical

  i am, and my wife never believed me that a sudden bright light can make me sneeze.

  apparently a third of humans are photic sneezers.

  although the exact mechanism isn't fully understood it may be that a strong signal in the optic nerve can stimulte a nearby branch of the trigeminal nerve.. its time to come out the closet and be proud of your crossed wires.. ....

  @skeeter1 " Where's the exact waiver that the person signs?"

  difficult to sign a waiver when you are minutes away from bleeding out - this is in the first few sentences of the article.

  this technique will be used without advance permission on patients who are almost certainly dead with current conventional therapies.

  people in the area are being offered an opt-out bracelet.

  what a nasty scumbag - organised religions of this type allow these control freak psychos to do their worst to vulnerable children and adults

  the sooner the Charity Commission sees through their bullshit the better

  so glad me and my immediate family are out.

  Matthew Powner- Advanced research on the Origin of life. How credible is he?

  by KateWild in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have come to the conclusion that science cannot prove or disprove the existence of god.

  however the scientific evidence available is compelling enough for me to believe that a creator is responsible for life on earth.. i have read much about powner and understand the work he is doing.

  i am interested in your views as to his credibility.
