Upper wisdom teeth easier to remove than bottom?

Hi everybody! :)

I'm going to have my wisdom teeth removed(only have 3) soon, and I know
I read somewhere that upper wisdom teeth are easier to remove than the
bottom I know it depends on the tooth etc but in general is that right
and if so why is that? I would think the bottom would be easier. On my
referral paper the girl wrote "removal of 3rd molars #1,16,17" I looked
at a tooth numbering chart and it looks likes its my 2 top wisdom teeth
and then my bottom right one correct? My top right one has poked
through just a tiny bit.

Another question. I know when I was 10 or 12 I had some baby teeth
pulled with novocaine and if I remember right before they gave me the
shot they "thumped" me and if its okay with my oral surgeon I want to
have local and was wondering if they will "thump" me again? (lol) I
just don't want to feel the shot.

One more question! I keep hearing horror stories about the "cracking
and popping" noise what exactly do they mean? Where their breaking the
tooth/bone?
