Daily Trivia #298 No Hints!!

Saddam first designed it.
A deadly device, that spreads influenza faster than coughing and shouting.
As a side effect, it is known to evoke scenes of goats on the way to slaughter or a stampede of boisterous elephants.
It's satanic origin hasn't affected it's popularity one bit though.
Maybe thats because one of it's names sounds like an Cornetto icecream.
What am I talking about?



PS: I have tried to make it Google proof, so if you do crack it, please do post what gave it away.

  2. Hmmm... the answer is Vuvuzela!

    First designed in the 1960s by Freddie "Saddam" Maake, a Kaiser Cheifs FC fan.
    It has been blamed for increasing the spread of flu related diseases.
    Well the third line is related to various football commentator's take on the Vuvuzela.
    Finally its called a 'Corneta' in South America.
