Rack

[edit]

A brass money is also a rack (Similar to thouse used to hold volleyballs and basket balls) used to hold cannon balls. It's where the saying "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" came from since when it was cold, the brass would shrink, causing the balls to fall off. -- User:198.103.161.1 19:08, 9 February 2007
