Hiccup ja ja ja

Had this hiccup syndrome a couple of days back. It went on for more than 24 continuous hours, prompting me to do a Google search on it. That says something about the dependency on Google we have these days.

The search turned out to more interesting than I imagined. Below are a few details

World record

The world record for the longest continuous bout of hiccups (1922–1990) goes to Charles Osborne (1894–1991) from Anthon, Iowa. The hiccups started in 1922 at a rate of 40 times per minute, slowing to 20 and eventually stopping in February 1990 – a total of 68 years. [3]

The poor guy died a year after  his hiccup stopped.  The next few links revealed a few useful remedies .

Jump out of a plane.

Breathe slowly into your shirt.

Take a finger full of hair from the crown of your head and as hard as you can stand (though not hard enough to pull the hair out) for 10 seconds. 

Say "pineapple."

 Stand on your head.

Make yourself vomit. 

Talk non-stop for ten seconds.

Scream for as long as you can.

(Women:) Stimulate your clitoris.

Fart.

Burp

ok enough here's the link

And the winner is

Cure number one: Do a Google search on hiccup.
