Creating Fire With the Sun

If you think about this for a second it makes perfect sense: what better resource is there to start a fire with than a 1.988 435×10E30 kg ball of nuclear fueled combustion? Why worry about matches that can get wet or lighters that run out of fuel when you can harness an energy source that will be around several billion years.

At $20 this gadget can be a great help around the campfire or kitchen and also comes with a bottle opener in the base, though, I’m not sure opening beer’s and lighting fires is the best combination.
