"Hiccup Cure" Results In Two Gunshot Deaths

In fairness... it worked:

A Colombian man accidentally shot his nephew to death while trying to cure his hiccups by pointing a revolver at him to scare him, police in the Caribbean port city of Barranquilla said on Tuesday.
After shooting 21-year-old university student David Galvan in the neck, his uncle, Rafael Vargas, 35, was so distraught he turned the gun on himself and committed suicide, police said.

The incident took place on Sunday night while the two were having drinks with neighbors.

Alcohol was involved? I find that surprising.

One time Dick Cheney tried to cure a man of hiccups by scaring him. That man? President John F. Kennedy. Hasn't had a hiccup since.

From Michelle, who also has fun with Google-censorship photoshops (Dean Esmay's kicks ass) and video of the "Right Wing Propaganda Minister" Katie Couric unfairly challenging Howard Dean.
