You are in the pen at the zoo with 3 monkeys and One of them has a pen and pencil, the 2nd has a popcan and sandwich, the 3rd has a key and lock. Which primate in the pen has should have the highest IQ?
It all depends on what day of the week it is for me. Catch me on a weekend and I'm sure the monkeys will have an edge on me. Maybe it was a monkey who found the Oakdale treasure? :eyeroll:
If I were talking Central Time zone than I look forward to having a drink at 12:30 and saying "well, it's 5 o'clock in Glade Springs"!
toast to Glade Springs!
now...here was the TRICK of the question...
12:30 is the Central Time Zone but in reality, St Paul is in the St Paul Time Zone and is truly 12:18 (not 12:30) BUT if it were 12:30 in St Paul than it would REALLY be 12:42 Central Time Zone...
now tell me where it would be 5 o'clock in the world from St Paul.... :confused: :eek: :sillygrin: :pbpt: :cool:
According to the United States Navy Historical Center, this is a legend of the sea without historical justification. The center has researched this because of the questions it gets and says the term "brass monkey" and a vulgar reference to the effect of cold on the monkey's extremities, appears to have originated in the book "Before the Mast" by C.A. Abbey. It was said that it was so cold that it would "freeze the tail off a brass monkey." The Navy says there is no evidence that the phrase had anything to do with ships or ships with cannon balls.
The word "monkey" is of uncertain origin; its first known usage was in 1498 when it was used in the literary work Reynard the Fox as the name of the son of Martin the Ape. "Monkey" has numerous nautical meanings, such as a small coastal trading vessel, single masted with a square sail of the 16th and 17th centuries; a small wooden cask in which grog was carried after issue from a grog-tub to the seamen's messes in the Royal Navy; a type of marine steam reciprocating engine where two engines were used together in tandem on the same propeller shaft; and a sailor whose job involved climbing and moving swiftly (usage dating to 1858). A "monkey boat" was a narrow vessel used on canals (usage dating to 1858); a "monkey gaff" is a small gaff on large merchant vessels; a "monkey jacket" is a close fitting jacket worn by sailors; "monkey spars" are small masts and yards on vessels used for the "instruction and exercise of boys;" and a "monkey pump" is a straw used to suck the liquid from a small hole in a cask; a "monkey block" was used in the rigging of sailing ships; "monkey island" is a ship's upper bridge; "monkey drill" was calisthenics by naval personnel (usage dating to 1895); and "monkey march" is close order march by US Marine Corps personnel (usage dating to 1952).

(New York: Random House, 1994): 580.; and Eric Partridge A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. 8th ed. (New York: Macmillan Publishing Company): 917.]
"Monkey" has also been used within an ordnance context. A "monkey" was a kind of gun or cannon (usage dating to 1650). "Monkey tail" was a short hand spike, a lever for aiming a carronade [short-sight iron cannon]. A "powder monkey" was a boy who carried gun powder from the magazine to cannons and performed other ordnance duties on a warship (usage dating to 1682). [Source: The Oxford English Dictionary. New York: Oxford University Press, 1933.]
The first recorded use of the term "brass monkey" appears to dates to 1857 when it was used in an apparently vulgar context by C.A. Abbey in his book Before the Mast, where on page 108 it says "It would freeze the tail off a brass monkey." [Source: Lighter, J.E. ed. Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang. (New York: Random House, 1994): 262.]
It has often been claimed that the "brass monkey" was a holder or storage rack in which cannon balls (or shot) were stacked on a ship. Supposedly when the "monkey" with its stack of cannon ball became cold, the contraction of iron cannon balls led to the balls falling through or off of the "monkey." This explanation appears to be a legend of the sea without historical justification. In actuality, ready service shot was kept on the gun or spar decks in shot racks (also known as shot garlands in the Royal Navy) which consisted of longitudinal wooden planks with holes bored into them, into which round shot (cannon balls) were inserted for ready use by the gun crew. These shot racks or garlands are discussed in: Longridge, C. Nepean. The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships. (Annapolis MD: Naval Institute Press, 1981): 64. A top view of shot garlands on the upper deck of a ship-of-the-line is depicted in The Visual Dictionary of Ships and Sailing. New York: Dorling Kindersley, 1991): 17.
"Brass monkey" is also the nickname for the Cunard Line's house flag which depicts a gold lion rampant on a red field. [Source: Rogers, John. Origins of Sea Terms. (Mystic CT: Mystic Seaport Museum, 1984): 23.]
lol some people are so gullible. Look at this email I got today.
Mars
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular!
This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that
will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in
recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is
in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on
Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be
certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth
in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when
Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest
75-power magnification
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
Mars will be easy to spot. At the
beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m.
and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are
closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its
highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty
convenient to see something that no human being has
seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at
the beginning of August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter throughout the
month.
Share this with your children and grandchildren.
NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN
Pfft as big as a full moon? Heck people should freak out if something like that happened, especially if mars orbit suddenly was so screwed up it ended up near lunar orbit. The gravity involved would probably cause the planets to collide.
Oh wait... I just gave hollywood a new epic disaster movie. Who will they send to save us from mars?
I thought it was important to respond to a questionably safe Food Fad, the ZIPLOC OMELET. It is the latest NOT recommended fad. Please... DON'T try this at home and we will tell you exactly why. What is circulating around again is instructions on cooking omelets in Ziploc bags. This is not recommended until further research is done on cooking with plastics. There is still question about the cancer causing breakdown of plastics and their contact with food during cooking.
We have contacted the Ziploc company and they replied by telling us that ZIPLOC® brand Bags cannot be used to boil food. They also told us that they do not manufacture a "boilable" bag.... yet.
They do not recommend using any ZIPLOC® brand Bag in boiling water, or to "boil" in the microwave. ZIPLOC® brand Bags are made from polyethylene plastic with a softening point of approximately 195 degrees Fahrenheit. By pouring near boiling water (water begins to boil at 212 degrees) into the bag, or putting the bag into the water, the plastic could begin to melt. Might I add that eggs and cheese have fat which gets much hotter than water thus the likelihood of melting the plastic increases.
It is so easy to start something unhealthy like the idea of a ZIPLOC OMELET. All you have to do is type it up and send it out to everyone you know via e-mail. It spreads like wild fire. The ZIPLOC OMELET instructions start out by telling you "This works great !!!" But who ever started the idea had not contacted the company who manufactures the bag to see if such cooking techniques were recommended. Therefore people receiving the instructions might just assume this idea is safe and it is not.
The specific concern centers on the possible contamination of foods with known carcinogens that may be present in plastic containers and wraps.
This issue is certain to generate much research to clarify the potential risks. Until this issue is fully resolved, consumers who want to take a cautious approach should not use Ziploc type bags for boiling food in water or in the microwave. People should continue making omelets the old traditional way until plastic bag manufacturers come out with an approved safe bag that while heated containing food will produce no carcinogens.
I have read about cooking omelets by putting two eggs (scrambled) and additional ingredients (cheese, chopped vegetables, ham cubes, etc.) into a Ziploc bag and then dropping the bag into boiling water for 10 minutes. Wouldn't these omelets also be more nutritious, because you wouldn't use the butter or oil that usually goes in a regular omelet pan?
The idea to cook omelets in an easy-to-clean-up manner sounds clever, but I have to caution you about using plastics to cook your food in. Not all plastics are made the same. There are plastic bags meant for boiling (the package will tell you if it's an OK plastic to heat). There are also plastic food storage containers (Gladware and those made by the Ziploc people, among others) that tell you their product is OK to thaw and reheat food in the microwave.
Unfortunately, Ziploc-type of bags are made from polyethylene plastic, and have a "softening point" of 195 degrees F, according to the manufacturer. This means at least two things; that the plastic bag could melt when boiled, and some of the plastic could leach into your food.
I know there will be some who pooh-pooh this, but neither the Ziploc or Glad company will recommend using their bags for boiling (don't you think they would be happy to sell more bags for this purpose?)
So, to keep your family safe, get that omelet pan back out.
here's something to think about... I believe if you still want to make these and you have a "foodsaver" you could make it in them. As they say you can boil in those bags...
overall, I don't think a little plastic is gonna hurt too bad if it's not on a regular basis---look at all the other crap we put in our bodies that we don't know about. BUT, I suppose if we know it's not made for heat than I'd rather not have a bag break and clean up the mess either.
As our parents and their parents say "it's always better to be safe than sorry".
soooo switch up the recipe - use boil safe bags instead of baggies.
I figured that a bag made for boiling was just made a little thicker and tougher not necessarily the material in it. nice find kitch.
why would you even ask that cm? did someone get sick?
heh. we sat through one of those timeshare presentations when we were in vegas just to get the free show tickets and buffet. one of the high points of the timeshare, according to the sales drone, was the kitchen so our family could make some of our favorite vacation recipes. buddy. our favorite recipe to make while on vacation is reservations!
we were thinking of spending the week before or after Christmas in Belize or an all inclusive. My aunt says she owns a timeshare and maybe we could all do that ... I said there was no way I wanted to see a kitchen or cook or feel guilty about anyone else cooking when I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N
say kitch. we were in vegas last week, and i noticed a couple of things. first off, you're not allowed to have lighters and matches past the security checkpoints at airports. makes sense. until we get to vegas international. where in the concourse areas, they have designated smoking rooms. if you don't have a lighter and don't have matches, because you're not allowed to have them past security, how do you light a cigarette in these areas?
Lighters with fuel are prohibited in checked baggage, unless they adhere to the DOT exemption, which allows up to two fueled lighters if properly enclosed in a DOT approved case. If you are uncertain as to whether your lighter is prohibited, please refrain from bringing it to the airport. ** Up to 4 books of safety (non-strike anywhere) matches are permitted as carry-on items, but all matches are prohibited in checked baggage.
so you can CARRY on 4 books of matches...and you can't put those same matches in your bag..
and you CAN carry on a corkscrew, screwdriver, cigar cutters, and Toy Weapons - (if not realistic replicas).
why is this word special???

at first it looks like it would be a good word written in cursive...then I saw it.
flip the word upsidedown! :smile:
but if you didn't you'd really kick yourself...
since you are talking about IQ tests.
You are in the pen at the zoo with 3 monkeys and One of them has a pen and pencil, the 2nd has a popcan and sandwich, the 3rd has a key and lock. Which primate in the pen has should have the highest IQ?

Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip - the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip
Step up to the bar - put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool

I have read about cooking omelets by putting two eggs (scrambled) and additional ingredients (cheese, chopped vegetables, ham cubes, etc.) into a Ziploc bag and then dropping the bag into boiling water for 10 minutes. Wouldn't these omelets also be more nutritious, because you wouldn't use the butter or oil that usually goes in a regular omelet pan?

why would you even ask that cm? did someone get sick?
the bags do get weaker...
like I said...go with the foodsaver bags...
Go down to denny's/perkins/IHOP/embers and order one.
I received the same e-mail that Kitch posted and couldn't find anything to refute it. I guess it would be better safe than sorry in this instance.
Thanks for looking into it.
we were thinking of spending the week before or after Christmas in Belize or an all inclusive. My aunt says she owns a timeshare and maybe we could all do that ... I said there was no way I wanted to see a kitchen or cook or feel guilty about anyone else cooking when I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N
I think when you get there - you rush into a gift shop and buy one - THEN take it on the plane.
It's all a HUGE scam for the match stick and lighter industry to up sales.
so you can CARRY on 4 books of matches...and you can't put those same matches in your bag..
and you CAN carry on a corkscrew, screwdriver, cigar cutters, and Toy Weapons - (if not realistic replicas).
