When war ship of the last centuary had large cannons & the amo was gun powder & steel balls always kept in storage near the gun called the brass monkey... When it was really freezing in the northern hemisphere the ball would freeze & fall off the storage area... Hence the saying "freeze the balls of a Brass off a brass monkey...
