// Talking about hiccups in biology, Mr. McFaden turns to a personal anecdotes after a few minutes of contemplation
Mr. McFaden: So a long time ago I went to a parochial Catholic school. Mind you this was back in the fifties. The pope at the time had the hiccups so the nun had us praying that they would stop. By the way, a short prayer is sometimes called an ejaculation from the latin root which means throw out. So the nuns had us ejaculating so the pope would stop hiccuping.
