Useless InformationDid you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Brass Monkeys.A thick Brass plate, size 500x500mm will shrink approx 0.5mm through a temp change of 20°C
Assuming the cannon balls where PERFECT, and were all set at perfect intervals with zero room between them, then maybe the effect of severe cold would alter thier stability.
As cannon balls were not made to that accuracy, and weren't stacked that close, then a change in the plate's dimensions would have no effect on a pyramid of cannon-shot.
JESUS WEPT...I'm a GEEK!!!
