Well, my question has 2 parts to it. The first part is, what causes hiccups (sp?)? And what is the best way to get rid of them? I get them ALL the time, like 2-3 times a day. They never go away. Help me out!

hiccups (or hiccoughs) occur when the diaphragm (a fancy muscle above the stomach that hardly anyone uses, singers tend to have strong ones)flips itself upside down (don't worry, it doesn't actually damage itself). The hiccupping comes from the stomach trying to flip it back. There's not a whole lot you can do that will actually stop them, but some people find drinking liquids useful.
