Couldn't take that to church. Gotta love those small diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) No Googling Albert, can't ask a trivia question anymore. Actually I just opened the link and that isn't where it came from, Brass Balls not Monkey. Actually the Brass Monkey thing from Wikipedia isn't right either. Brass Monkeys is from a section of a Blast Furnace . Brass Balls is from old Naval warships. There is reference to warships and rebuttal to that as well. There is no reference from the Ironmaking version of "Colder than a Brass Monkey". The Monkey is a nickname for the Cinder Notch Cooling chamber on a Blast Furnace. It was made of Brass, later Copper or cast Iron. More modern furnaces do not have one. When a furnace is taken off line the Brass contracts. If cold enough Blast Furnace gas would blow from the Monkey until the cooler heated enough to seal the gap. And SirCranks, that is funny, I'm using that one. Rick if you bring someone from the tropic to where you are they can show signs of hypothermia in the same conditions much sooner than someone like yourself that has lived and worked in the cold. I don't know what a dry cold is. I have friends from the city an hour away say it's damp and the wind cuts you here unlike the city. I spent time 45K south of the Artic Circle in Finland, it was stupid cold there but at the same temps here I believe it is much worse here.

aplumma Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 My theory is the Celsius scale is to blame for the drama of how cold it is. With Fahrenheit it is 32 degrees and water freezes while you all are already at 0C. I personally find the weather outside to cold for me when I feel the hairs in my nose freeze when I inhale.
