Welcome back lady and gentleman, my name is Casey, sitting here slaving over a hot keyboard and just trying to understand the world. About 20 minutes ago, I was sitting here won(hic)dering what to write abo(hic)ut. My mind had been numbed by the ma(hic)ssive amount of homework that I just finished. Also by the conti(hic)nuous nagging of the hiccups.(hic) Where do they (hic) come from? Why do they happen? Why are they happening to me right now? And why do they suddenly disappear? They are like the Batman of bodily functions. And they're pissin' me off.
So I spent countless hours dicking around on the Internet making absolutely no progress on my research. Then I took the 10 minutes to actually google the answer. According to this website hiccups are defined as :"Spasms of the diaphragm (which is the muscle between the chest and the abdomen that pumps up and down to get air in and out of your lungs). It's a spasm in the diaphragm." Well, DUH. I already new that shit. Then I remember the Internet is all knowing.
Some factors for hiccups include, overeating , sudden temperature, carbonated beverages, alcohol, dry bread, and tobacco use. There are a lot of home remedies out there to stop them but sometimes that doesn't work. According to this website, some dude had the hiccups for 68 effin' years. That's almost half as old as I am (I have a really good complexion.)
yeah that's cool n all, but my hiccups have seemed to disappear during the writing of this column so I don't really give a shit anymore. If you really want to find out more, GOOGLE IT. Because I'm not really interested in this topic any more.

Dammit.
