Cold fire is such a cool name. It almost sounds like the Indigenous Australians discovered fusion.

Heh, I could have just said fire, but I wanted to pique the white people's curiosity and talk about how well the First Australians have mastered fire.

Well, you've piqued this Asian man's curiosity as well lol

Also, it's so refreshing to see the right "piqued" being used for a change.

If you want to know more, you should watch the First Inventors documentary series on SBS. Everything I've said here is explained better by the great people working on that series, and there's lots I didn't say today. Like the world's first aerofoil!
