back in high school, the nurse there told me that ONE of the reasons you can get hick ups is from excess oxygen in the blood.. which would explain why hyperventilating into a paper bag can help sometimes.. I'm sure there are many ways and for many different reasons though.

To annoy you when you are enjoying breakfast...and to amuse you when you get them from laughing to much.
