    19-year-old girl who had gained worldwide fame/infamy for having continuous hiccups for five weeks several years ago was charged with first-degree murder in an botched attempted robbery with two other males:

    Talk about keeping your 15 minutes of fame alive. What an ungrateful brat. Here she is, having the knowledge that thousands of people were willing to help her for a medical condition, and instead of learning how good people can be, she turns to a life of crime.

    If Hiccup Girl can go bad, what hope is there for the human race?

    I'm guessing she was pretty easy to track down ...

    Investigators released a statement that they were glad that they could scratch Flatulent Girl off the suspect list.

    I'll bet her defense will be the hiccups made her crazy. Her own personal Twinkie defense!

    Could have set up an Abbott and Costello "Who's On First"-like interrogation down at the old police department.

    Cop: "Who lured the victim to the house?"
    Male suspect: "Mee."
    Cop: "You?"
    MS: "No, Mee."
    Cop: "Look, all I'm trying to find out is who shot the poor guy."
    MS: "I did."
    Cop: "So, who brought him there?"
    MS: "Mee."
    Cop: "You?"
    MS: "No! Mee!"
    Cop does facepalm.

    Now we know what five weeks of non-stop hiccups can do to a person.

    Forget the hiccups -- what in hell happened to her eyebrows?
