Original Yahoo! answer question: Why do hiccups happen?
Funny Answer: Hiccups are a way for your body to express its dissatisfaction with your person by annoying you as much as possible. Yes, your body actually reached the point where it considers it better to embarrass you socially and prevent you from sleeping, eating and drinking comfortably than to let you continue to live as you do now. If a hiccup causes you to spill while drinking your body considers it a bonus. The bonus is double if the spilled liquid was colored and you made ugly stains on your clothes. The bonus is triple if this happened in public and other people are laughing at you. Yes, your body can be a bastard sometimes.
Serious Answer: Actually hiccups are an uncontrollable movement of the diaphragm muscle (no, nothing to do with the birth control diaphragm). The causes of the hiccups can be multiple. It is usually annoying but benign unless it goes on for several hours, at which point the hiccups can cause pain / damage the muscle. It is extremely rare that hiccups causes any damage however.
