Product: Kettle
Boiling water with Gregorian chants   (+2)  [vote for, against]

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?

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.
