I was always irritated by the screech that my teakettle made to alert me that, yes, my water had finally boiled. So, I designed a whistle with a more sonorous pitch. And not satisfied with that, I installed several whistles in the kettle, each hitting a different, but harmonious note.
Now,
teatime is heralded by a chorus of deep-throated whistles, sounding a lot like a Gregorian chant.

Have a pastry with your tea, I hate that screech! By the way, how big are those pipes, and how much water do I have to boil to get them going? |
|

Would you like a cu-uu-uup of teeeaaaa?
Yes please, milk but no-o-o su-gar. |

prefer squeak to gregorian chant any day |

Surely it would take ages to boil some water using a Gregorian chant? |
|
|
There you go again! Ambiguous, ambiguous. |
|

Amp the chant up to the frequencies required to create bursts of coherent light in the tea and walla! Sonoluminescence -- somewhere around high "C", I think... |

Yeah,right [amos]. And around 10,000 celsius too.
Make sure you blow on your tea before drinking. |
