Science Beyond the Bottle
We're two grad students that enjoy hanging out, drinking beer, and talking about everyday science stuff. Each week we come up with questions we think most people would be interested in, look up the answers, and explain them over a few beers. So sit back, have a beer (or a soda if you're under age) and you might just learn something interesting.

    Hi there, I listened to ep3 today & had to let ya's know of a sure cure for hiccups...:) several months ago I heard on the radio (here in Adelaide, South Australia:) that they are related to when we were still a-swimmin' in the primordial soup & had gills..& so if ya had the hiccups, just say either to yourself or aloud (which is what I do as it's much more effective when you can share such wisdom;) - "I am not a fish!" & voila, the hiccups be gone!! Really..! I was stunned & amazed by this li'l pearler, coz I know how utterly absurd it sounds but it has worked every time for all & sundry folk I've told... Cheers for an entertaining & enlightening podcast guys.. :)
