In particular: Nobody really knows where the phrase "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" came from, but the explanation offered here certainly isn't the answer.
For the record, I entirely agree: there is usually some fact wrapped up in sayings like there.
But "usually" isn't always.
And again, as humor, these are perfectly fine.
