I'm a photic sneezer as well. I only heard of one other person that this happens to in the past . Glad to see it isn't just me.
There are some people that I can communicate with on a psychic level.
Aside from that, I can flex any muscle on my Body, even partially retract a testicle.
I can wiggle my ears , raise my eyebrows , even individually.
I can also flair one nostril at a time.

Ooh, this is intersting , I'm European, are any other photic sneezers out there ?
Who has the photic sneezing reaction ?
Photic sneezing has been claimed to affect children more than adults, people of European descent more than Africans or Asians ; early studies suggested that men were more prone to it than women, but this has not been borne out by more recent research.
Prevalence of photic sneezing in American and European populations has been variously estimated at between 18 and 35%. The large discrepancy can be explained in several ways : firstly, most studies are based on reported occurrence, which is an unreliable method ; secondly, the phenomenon is probably not discrete, i.e. some people may experience the reaction only in exceptional circumstances, as when suffering from inflammatory conditions of the eyes or nasal passages.

Frankly, I'm in the same boat. The list of weird things about me is so long that it would be far easier to list the 5 or 6 things that AREN'T weird...

Seriously, I wouldn't even know where to start. As long as I can remember all of my friends...and I do mean ALL of my friends...have called me either weird or odd or just plain strange...
