I could talk about all of the possibilities - you know, the alignment of the planets, bad juju, karma, the gods are angry, etc. But I don't want to insult your intelligence, so I'll just say it was probably something you ate and let it go at that.

Usually the answer to why is because you're not supposed to, you've been told over and over but you didn't listen, had to find out for yourself and did it anyway.
