How many rats nest on my engine?
Was typing up the usual phrase, but suddenly hit a critical punctuation problem. How many rats nested on my engine? Should it be rat's nest or rats' nest? I note most people have a bet each way and use rats nest.
Where did the expression first come from? In desperation I simply removed the offending object.

Don't worry. Punctuation is not a strong point in this forum; slang is. I think that the vacuum solenoid-mess is considered a rat's nest due to at first glance, the vacuum tubes are a gathered-mess of chaos/order.
Dang tree huggers make a big deal out of something to the point of making a mess. =)
