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.

"I had said to my granddaughter 'what's the smell' and we couldn't work it out until we pulled the cracker," Lawrence told the newspaper, after finding a dead and partially decomposed mouse.

"It ruined my appetite for the rest of the day," Lawrence said.

New research hints that modern-day versions of the insects are far older than any tyrannosaur that trod the Earth.

Today's plethora of beetle species were thought to have blossomed 140 million years ago, during the rise of flowering plants. But the new study of beetle DNA and fossils, published in the Dec. 21 issue of the journal Science, pushes their appearance back to 300 million years ago.

"Unlike the dinosaurs which dwindled to extinction, beetles survived because of their ecological diversity and adaptability," said the study's lead scientist Alfried Vogler, an entomologist at Imperial College London and the Natural History Museum in London.

"The large number of beetle species existing today could very well be a direct result of this early evolution," Vogler said, "and the fact that there has been a very high rate of survival and continuous diversification of many lineages since then."

The creatures are so advanced that their breath will stink and they will react to visitors' movements and even their clothing colour, reports The Sun.

The Restless Planet is due to open in Dubai in 2010. The Natural History Museum has been approached to make the dinosaurs because of its ground-breaking work in animatronics.

POITIERS, France (AFP) -
It was no bull in a china shop, but a wild boar rampaged through a clothes shop in western France on Saturday before being felled by bullets, police said.

Christmas shoppers and employees were evacuated from the store and the 90-kilo (198-pound) boar began charging at police, before falling in a hail of bullets early in the afternoon.


Just how the animal entered the shop, located in a commercial area near the city of Poitiers, remains a mystery. But three boars were spotted during the day in the region bordering the countryside, a police statement said.


The other two apparently returned to their usual habitat.
