Cold weather camping, part 2

Ernie,

I was reading on some obscure website about cold, brass, and monkeys.

It seems that back in the day there were stands used in the
forts to stack cannon balls on. These stands were made of brass. So
when the weather got really, really cold, the brass stand
contracted enough for the cannon balls to fall off. Hence the
infamous expression!

Believe it or not!
