I remembered it had something to do with ships...Frighteningly enough, I actually did. I'm an absolute monster in Trivial Pursuit.
Remind me not to play TP with you, unless I can bias the dice to get me the Science questions...
Exactly. Often contracted to Brass Monkey Weather.[hastily consults Google]
Oh yes, the brass monkey was a dimpled brass plate that warships stacked their iron cannon balls upon - in extreme cold weather the plate could contract enough for the cannon balls to fall off...
Oh, everyone knows that, of course!
Do you know how many different descriptions we have for rain over here? Almost as many as Finns have for snow!
My favourite for very fine rain, is "wet air"...
Nope. That's a bad idea. If you can bias them to the sports ones, though, I'll be done for.I remembered it had something to do with ships...

Me too, sadly...
Yes, you'll learn it..... no, you won't remember it...
Seems to be a rule of life that the more inconsequential, useless and esoteric a piece of information is, the more indelibly it is inscribed in the memory vault!
Or history..... gawd, I hate that yellow piece of cheese....
Mind you, brown can be an issue too...
Basically, everything apart form green to be honest....
And I should stop giving this precious material away for free.
Me looking at a sports question in TP is like a neurologist looking at an EKG. If you have two of them, it's what's known as a "double blind study".Me too, sadly...

Classic!!! Version generally here is 2 orthopods... but same sentiment...!
Mind you, neurologists have to look at EEGs and that really is an arcane piece of wizardry...
And now for your mid week Game State Report:
Today we'll see hopeful optimism and a front of appreciative acceptance. JK! It's gonna be a partial overcast of Doom followed by isolated white knight storms.

Possibly any of us who play ED.Me too, sadly...
I know the ortho variant as well but, as I was fortunate enough to work in the same hospital as one of the true legends of orthopedic surgery, that guy routinely stitched torn off limbs back and made them work again, I was personally present when we got a young man with a completely severed arm in and said surgeon got it working at 80% after a whole night in the OR, I tend to try not to throw too much shade in their general directionClassic!!!
