Fetching each worm is easy. It’s when you try to put all of them back in the can that you run afoul of Zymurgy’s First Law of Evolving System Dynamics.

Moray eels will have your hand off.

Not necessarily. Morays aren’t aggressive, unless trapped or harrassed. Almost any wild animal will fight if startled, trapped or cornered. “Even a turtledove will peck.”

I’m intrigued that Boody is looking at least as burned up about whatever-it-is as Dziva does.

Especially electric eels.

Speak for yourself, Anansi. Unagi…mmm!

Looks like Justin edited Anansi’s words.

Of course, Anansi looks like a spider yet is a god so Anansi can change size and its parts and have all the powers we ascribe to deities.

This comic makes me eel.

No, they don’t.

Not sure what Dziva and Boody’s issue is, but Bi-Polar Bear seems to be over-thinking the metaphor, which is probably not a Good Thing to do….

Never eaten a Worm. I have had Eel Sushi a few times. It was OK.

The saying comes back from the days of early canning, when you would get a can that went bad and on opening it, would be full of worms. Or rather maggots.
