Quite right about "piqued." Good catch. I saw that myself after the time for editing the post had expired and thought, "ah, to hell with bothering with a correction," since it had become rather late. The French word "pique" is related to the English word "pike" (as in a short, spear-like weapon), not "peak," despite the similarity in pronunciation to the latter. Hence the meanings Charles cites.
