Cups with a Hic

You know what I find amusing? The different ways of how people cure the deadly virus of........
Hiccups. Yes hiccups. Also not at all commonly known as Synchronous Diaphragmatic Flutter, it's basically your diaphragm hating on your vocal chords and making them close making a "hic" noise.
Some remedies include: giving the afflicted a fright or shock; sticking a finger in the mouth (not in a way that will induce vomiting); massaging the back of the throat (which will stop the irritation in the epiglottis); taking a teaspoon of vinegar; drinking water in an unorthodox manner (leaning over and drinking from the opposite side); drinking a full glass through a paper towel, holding one's breath and altering one's breathing patterns or holding one's breath and drinking water (large amounts at a time) until hiccup stops. I even saw someone pulling their ears up to make them go away. The funny thing is, it actually worked. Personally I recommend the holding your breath remedy. Am I missing any?

American Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 68 years, from 1922 to 1990, and was entered in the Guinness World Records as the man with the longest attack of hiccups.
That sucks. But what sucks more? Having hiccups for three years, then going to the doctors to get a cure for hiccups to find that you had a tumour in the part of your brain that triggers hiccups. Yep. Heaps sucks

Hiccups also remind me of the movie "How To Train Your Dragon." It's a great watch, and I recommend it very much. I loved it so much, I bought my mum the DVD for Christmas. :) Along with other things of course. Why does it remind me of the movie? Because the main character's name is Hiccup! I loved it, and so shall you.

Lyrics:
You had my heart
And we'll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things,
Will never come in between
You are my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard

Together we'll mend your heart
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
(Come into me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
Gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's raining (raining)
O baby it's raining
Baby come into me
Come into me
It's raining (raining)
O baby it's raining
O baby come into me
Come into me
