Have you ever had the hiccups for so long you could just kill someone?

(miami herald)

Jennifer Mee, who you may know as "hiccup girl" (I didn't know who she was either) is back in the news. A few years ago Mee made headlines after coming down with a case of the hiccups that lasted for a matter of months. You can see a video of her from 2007 with the hiccups (here), she seems like a pretty normal who was even appalled at the thought of committing a crime like smoking marijuana. Well apparently three years brings a lot of change since she's being charged for murder. On Saturday, Mee, now 19, lured a man (presumably with her fetching good looks) into a Florida home where he was then robbed and eventually murdered by two armed men.

The thing about this story that I find to be interesting is that we're hearing about it at all. This has become a national news story that we probably wouldn't have heard anything about if this girl hadn't been hiccuping for a few months in '07. It was really a true feat of great reporting to hear the anchor on the news this morning say "Hey remember this girl?" (They then cut to a cutesy archived news report of Mee trying various at-home remedies to cure hiccups.) After watching the video, I assumed she had been hiccuping since 2007 and they were going to tell me a heartwarming story  about finally finding a cure. Nope, she went bat-shit crazy and killed somebody.
