Dear Ross: Back in the days when ships had can- nons, they would stack the cannonballs on a brass triangle called a "monkey". Since brass has a high- er coefficient of expansion than lead (which the cannonballs were made of), ~ it would shrink faster than the balls when the temperature dropped. This was causing all the shot to tumble across the deck of the ship, causing a real ruckus. This is the origin of the phrase "cold enough to freeze the balls of a brass monkey" which I'm sure you've always wondered about. - Brendan

As Arts Editor I always appreciate it when I get to learn new things. Especially about balls.
