Flour...what gives?!

I have a question. Life is full of them and not all of mine are intelligent, but here it goes. Why is flour always cool to the touch? I've had my hands in flour over a long time and I still can't get over it. Even in the heat or a hot kitchen it's still cool to the touch! Oh well, it's out there. At least I have another day, thank you thank you thank you. He loves me no matter what or question.
