YOUR A CRAZY NUT JOB!!!

No, actually it's probably a subconcise (sp?) reaction to light, or just your computer monitor...

I vote psychological, but it does not mean you are a nutjob

I dunno why, but I hope you do wipe off the screen after sneezing on it.

Do you have sinus trouble, by any chance? It's possible that the sudden bright light is causing you to squint or do some other thing with your face that puts pressure on your sinuses in such a way that it causes you to sneeze.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
