Daily Random Hiccups- Anyone have a cure or explaination?
Q. for the past 3 months or so, I have been getting random hiccups, just one, a few times every day. It's getting kinda annoying, 'cause they're really loud. I also get spells of regular hiccups really badly, though not as often as I used to... but that's not my main issue. My boyfriend had had random spontaneous hiccups for,.. since before i met him several months ago. His are worse than mine. I just wish I could find out what's causing them and if there's a way to make them go away!

A. I can cure hiccups but I don't know if I can do it on here...haha. It is a mind over matter type of thing. Try rhythmic breathing when it happens or even when it is not happening. Practice concentrating on an appropriate way of breathing in and out from the diaphram for a few minutes several times a day. If you do this on a random schedule, then perhaps the hiccupping will stop. Relax your shoulders Sit up straight [or stand straight] Breath in and out in a regular way...count to five but do not take extra deep breaths or you may hyperventilate. Sometimes we hiccup because we are tense and the tubes are in spasm. Concentrating on your breathing in a deliberate way may settle you back to a normal breathing pattern. You must believe… [cont.]

A. 1)Who's better Monte Ellis or Derrick Rose?- Derrik Rose, both are great players. It's just Derrick Rose has an extras step on Ellis, better passer and quicker. Oh, and he's not the one that tried lying about his injury. 2)Who's your pick for next person to have a quadruple double?- I say Chris Paul, I think he was 3 steals away this year. So I think it's possible. 3)Do you guy's believe that Lebron will keep his word and be in the dunk contest in 2010?- I hope, I don't think he's a very good at dunking, it's just all he does is power dunks. But we'll see if he can prove me wrong. 4)Which NBA team has been the biggest disappointment this year?- This has to go to the Clippers and the Suns. The Clippers added Baron Davis and Marcus Camby, [cont.]

Why do Youtubers put, in video descriptions, stuff that have nothing to do with the video at all?
Q. Once I was looking for videos with game show parodies, and I was searching for them in the Most recent category. Most of the videos in the search category I saw were very unpopular videos with those unusual lines, nothing to do with what I was looking for at all. This is annoying me for a while now. Sometimes, idiotic YouTubers put in their video descriptions "Things that have nothing to do with the video are:", then a very huge load or random crud that have completely nothing to do with the video at all, mostly pornography stuff and people who are caught in the paparazzi, and other daily random unpopular stuff. They also take up a ton of space if random people expand the descriptions. Why do those idiots do that? Won't that make it harder… [cont.]

A. its so when people search the stuff even if it has nothing to do with the video it will show up therefore giving the video more views... yes. it would make it harder to find the individual video but it would still get more views because people would search for something completely different and the video will still come up.
