11 Months of Hiccups

He should stand on his head in a pond - that would cure it

clipped from www.ananova.com A Lincoln man suffered non-stop hiccups for the past 11 months. Chris Sands, 24, has tried everything including holding his breath, drinking from the wrong side of a glass and getting a fright since the hiccups started last February. He has had a brain scan, abdomen scan, chest scan and CT scan all in an effort to uncover the reason behind his mystery hiccupping, but so far there has been no diagnosis. Desperate for help, Chris launched a blog on the MySpace website earlier in the year in the hopes that people will help him find a cure. Charles Osborne, of Anthon, Iowa, holds the record for the longest ever bout of hiccups, which lasted for 68 years from 1922 until 1990.
