I love you Canucks....just so ya know...brass monkeys were made of brass(so the steel cannonballs would not stick/rust to them) and keep the cannonballs stacked and from rolling around,but because the brass shrunk so much faster than the steel cannonballs the cannonballs would scatter,...hence the phrase..cold enough to freeze the (cannon)balls off the brass monkey....had nothin' to do with those hairy little fellers...although I'm sure they like to keep their balls warm too......History 101...and you thought I was just a pretty face didn't you?
