Here’s mine:

Mozart had a pet starling, and when it died he arranged for a full funeral and burial, and composed a poem in memory of his bird, which he read at the service.

If it ever happened to you that after looking from a certain angle to a bright light you sneeze, that's because you confused your body!

Our brain uses the trigeminal nerve #or several functions, and it goes through all our face so, sometimes, when looking at a bright light, it will get excited and the brain will think that the stimulous means "I need to sneeze" triggering a sneeze when your nose is actually fine.
