When I suddenly get cold, I get the hiccups. My mama is like that too. She tells me her mama was like that too. Although it's annoying when the hiccups attack, I find it kind of neat that I share a similarity with my grandmother. She passed away before my mama got married. I wish I could have known her and my grandfather. My mama was really close to her father and speaks very highly of him.
According to Wikipedia:
The world record for the longest continuous bout of hiccups goes to Charles Osborne (1894–1991) from Anthon, Iowa. The hiccups started in 1922 at a rate of 40 times per minute, slowing to 20 and eventually stopping in February 1990 – a total of 68 years.
I guess I shouldn't get so annoyed when my hiccups last over a minute.
