[net.misc] Wolf hiccup cure

andrew@tekecs.UUCP (06/06/83)

The hiccup cure which works by running around the house three times without
thinking of the word "wolf" doesn't (necessarily) work.  How do I know?  When
my wife was struck by hiccups, I suggested that she run three times around
the house.  After she did this, she still had hiccups.  I asked her if she
had thought of the word "wolf" while running; she assured me that she
hadn't.

Empirical science marches on!
