More Useless Information

I discovered an interesting website:

www.howmanyofme.com

It tells you how many people have your first and last name and how many people have your whole name.

Hammer: 21,115
Carson: 12,066
Jane: 377,054
Douglas: 553,516

Carson Hammer: 1
Jane Hammer: 26
Douglas Hammer: 39

I looked up Jane Feltes and there was only 1. Must have been 2 before I got married!

So there's your dose of useless knowledge for the day.

Photic Sneeze Reflex

Here's something most people don't know about me... my whole life I've sneezed when I look at the sun or bright light. Heard of people here and there with the same thing, but for the most part, people (even Doug) thought it was kind of strange. Well, we discovered the answer one day when playing Trivial Pursuit:

Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome

Also known as ACHOO syndrome (ironic, I know) or a Photic Sneeze Reflex

It occurs in about 17% - 25% of the population. I didn't really look anything up on it until I noticed Carson does the same thing. Come to find out it is genetic. How about that?
