Heavenly vuvuzela
My favourite engineer recently returned from her triumphant conquering of Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. At 5,895m (19,340 ft), the air is rarefied and breathing is difficult. I would imagine that the lack of oxygen might cause one to imagine hearing the heavenly voices of angels, in songs of praise for the intrepid mountaineer.
So it came as a bit of a surprise when her party reached Uhuru Peak to the squawks of a very un-angelic vuvuzela, aka the Devil’s Horn.

Perhaps the god-brigade should re-assess where heaven and hell are located.
