"The biggest cause of hiccups is eating to fast.
Back in 1922 Charles Osborne of Iowa must have done just that, because he got a case of the hiccups. Actually his hiccups started while he was weighing a hog.
This was no ordinary case, it was a world record hiccup fit, it lasted 68 years up until they mysteriously stopped in 1990, hiccupping an estimated 430 million times. He died 1 year after his hiccups stopped.
In the early years Charles Osborne hiccupped up to 40 times a minute, which in the later years slowed to 20 times.
Charles Osborne, however, did manage a somewhat ordinary life, he was married twice and had 8 children."
