History lesson for Evryday and his father. In the days of wooden sailing ships, warships had brass plates with dimples on it nailed to the deck, next to each cannon. The dimples held the cannonballs in place, so when the ship rolled with the waves the cannon balls would not roll all over the deck and hurt the sailors on their own ship. This brass plate was called a brass monkey. When it got really cold the brass plate would shrink somewhat. Sometimes it shrank so much that dimples got smaller and would no longer hold the cannon balls in place, and the cannon balls would roll around the deck. Thus the saying, its so cold that it froze the balls off a brass monkey.
