#11  By the verge of the verdant Durance
Lived a lively vieil homme de la France
Who could tell what transpired
Between Lear and those Albanians he hired,
Could that Proustian ponce of Provence.

#10  Current global temperature rises ‘unprecedented’ over last 24,000 years - study

Might have something to do with an ice age 12,000 years ago; no mention of that in the article.

#8  I can't take credit. I first saw it in Gravity's Rainbow, part of the "Great Banana Breakfast" chapter, but I've seen it other places too. Still, it stuck in my mind, anyway...

#7  M. Murcek's Limericks - Coming to RDSTP Bookstore Soon

Not to be confused with Edward Lear's Limericks

There was a Young Person of Crete,
Whose toilette was far from complete;
She dressed in a sack,
Spickle-speckled with black,
That ombliferous person of Crete.

Oh noes — computer model sez! Also, I note in passing that those climate guys can prove anything if they set their starting point carefully. Compare the Jerusalem post’s intentional hysteria to ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica here.

#5  It's cold as the nipple on a witch's t*t.
Cold as a bucket of penguin sh*t.
Cold as the hairs on a polar bear's a$$.
Cold as the frost on a champagne glass...

"Freezing the balls off the brass monkey," a Navy phrase about cannon balls...

This piece of alleged history explains that in the olden days of sailing ships, cannon balls were stacked on the decks on brass plates called “monkeys.” The plates had indentions in them that held the balls on the bottoms of the stacks. Brass, however, expands and contracts with the temperature and if it got cold enough, the cannon balls could fall…giving real foundation to the phrase “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!”

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.

Thus = FICTION !

But my dear monkey friend, do not go to Novosibirsk, today, November 14, at night light snow is expected from time to time, southwestern wind 4-9 m / s, air temperature -2 ... -4 ° C, ice on the roads in places.

Hey monkey buddy, what are those two things rolling down the road...

#2  I'll put in another plug for looking at the temperature in Oymyakon. They went down to -40 on Nov 9 although they are a lot warmer today.

It is at ~64N and at elevation of ~2500' and radiational cooling can lower the temperature rapidly.
