Explain what kind of can of worms you refer to, and why it is bad. If they were gummy worms, I'd definitely want to open that can up, and probably devour all of them in one sitting. True, it might cause a stomachache, but it still passes my cost-benefit analysis. Leucosticte (talk) 15:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
- So, for what are you fishing, Nathan? What's the purpose of this and other similar pages? As usual, you think only of your own goals, and you don't mind the stomach-ache, so addicted are you to what happens from your fishing expeditions, that provide "meaning" for your life. ("Fishing" for certain responses is called "trolling.")
- "Can of worms" refers to a complex situation that can take up the time of users and administrators, without serving the purposes of the wiki. Sure, if you are fishing, and you open your tin of meat, and find it full of worms, you could use those worms for fishing. More likely, though, you are disappointed, disgusted, and left hungry and dissatisfied, and maybe angry at whoever sold you that can. --Abd (talk) 15:35, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
