A Slight Hiccup

Hi all,

We had a slight hiccup last week, but are back on track for normal updates on Tuesday and Thursday.

Speaking of hiccups, though, have you ever seen a movie or television show where someone hiccuped? I get hiccups fairly frequently and most people get them occasionally, but you never see them portrayed on any screen, big or little.

Now, I can see Bruce Willis as John McLane hiccuping in a Die Hard movie, but not Schwarzenegger or Stallone.

"Conan! What is best in life?"

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women."

Granted, you never see Conan or Rambo blowing their nose or going to the bathroom either, but there you go.

Cheers,
-Jason

Hiccups do not provide any functional value to the body and of course celebrities can suffer from them as well as anyone else--even though it may not on screen unless scripted for.

Really? That's strange/interesting/weird. Could they be some leftover physiological thing?
