shouldn't Dr. Pepper go in through the mouth

It originally did.

does that hurt or feel weird

A little of both.

It turns out that carbon dioxide and water together also undergo a chemical reaction to form a very weak (dilute) solution of carbonic acid.

CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3

Weak acids usually taste sour, like a lemon, but there is so much sugar in soft drinks, and so little acid from the carbonation, that it is sometimes difficult to tell.

After much consideration, my best educated guess is that when you burp, a little liquid comes up in that burst of air from your throat and that liquid has a little carbonic acid in it. The tissue in your sinuses is VERY sensitive, so the acid makes it feel like it is burning.

Yes, that would be the one.

how did it go up your nose anyway? did yo sneeze while drinking or?

No, I caughed it up there when I started to laugh at something.

it is 9:23 now

Not where I am. It's 8:24pm.

timezones are confusing sometimes.. like going back in time but not really

When Magellan's crew returned to Europe, they didn't initially understand why their calendars were off by a day, in spite of keeping good records. This is why we have the international date line.

if we had more suns we would not have this problem... but we WOULD have different ones.

More suns?!?!? That would suck. I'm sensitive to light.

and i already have enough trouble with sleep...

Insomniac or noise?
