i dont think its possible. i also think there's an explanation on why our eyes are shut when we sneeze. i'll just have to find out about it. ^__^

well it seems that there is a great pressure inside our body when we sneeze, so we need to shut our eyes to prevent our eyeballs to pop out. there are a lot of muscles involved in sneezing and aside from our eyelids, the muscles in our throat, vocal chords, abdomen and chest are involved. im still not able to find any scientific explanation for this but this is the usual answers that i have obtained. ^__^ do you think this is true? lol i dont want my eyes to pop out!

Nope I don't think anyone can. I remember reading this at a "Do You Know?" article at a magazine somewhere. It's just like touching your nose with your elbow or something like that =)
