The Can of Worms is a local name for the intersection of Interstates 590 and 490 on the east side of Rochester, New York.
Since the intersection was rebuilt from 1988 to 1991, the name has fallen into disuse, but from the time of its construction until then it was a major source of comment locally for its effect on traffic.
Local legend relates that on viewing the plans for the original interchange, an engineer was heard to exclaim "It's like a can of worms!".
A worm dies when it enters the water (either by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it), or when its health is reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero.
Worms Open Warfare, for the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP, is specifically designed for the handheld systems, and is the latest in the 2D series, released in March 2006.
Worms 4: Mayhem was released in 2005, being a revamp of the original Worms 3D engine, featuring smoother terrain deformation and improved graphics, resulting in a more polished feel closer to the second generation Worms games.
