h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Be happy! You've been accepted!!!

I was the scout that found you're brilliant article - well done!

Thanks!

Neuroaccoustic Diafragmacontractions = hiccups

Just so you know...

Hm, thats is a useful fact, thanks... can I still add to it now?

If you can still find the 'Edit Article' Button, you probably can... but don't change too much or you might muck things up and slow things down considerably. A little linguistic gem like Neuro.. contractions should be in there nonetheless I think.

Hey and well done redfish!

I added that tidbit...hardly any difference so should be ok

Ooops, seems I'm a little late, and the party is already in full steam

I wanted to add another method... make the victim *concentrate* on a difficult task or problem. 'What is a half plus a half times a half' is such a question. Most hiccups are cured when the (wrong) answer is finally arrived at. The correct answer is "3/4 (because multiplying goes before adding), minus a hickup"

I realise that some of the drinking rules could be boiled down to the 'concentrating' task! Perhaps they work even without water

Oh, and editing this entry will always be possible because it's *your* copy. The SubEd has hir copy at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A617852 and won't see any changes to the origina - but will see this thread

well hopefully theyll notice that useful likkcle pice of info and put it isn
