Murlocs = Morlocks

Caught this online, and being an avid H.G. Wells fan, decided to post it. My comments are in bold italics.

Just an FYI for those who were as in the dark as me – I was surfing around the internet and was looking at this post of artist M.S. Corley’s depiction of horror characters in literature. I saw a “Morlock” and by picture and by name it reminded me of a murloc. I have to admit not knowing where this creature was from and had to rely on my good friend wikipedia to tell me what they were.

God bless Wikipedia.

Here’s the first paragraph:

Morlocks are a fictional species created by H. G. Wells for his 1895 novel, The Time Machine. They dwell underground in the English countryside of A.D. 802,701 in a troglodyte civilization, maintaining ancient machines that they may or may not remember how to build. Their only access to the surface world is through a series of well structures that dot the countryside of future England.

That’s what I get for watching Malcolm McDowell and not reading the book.

I thought that movie kinda sucked…

For a flurry of furry Morlocks check out this Google image search. And apologies to all who are slapping their heads right now saying ‘no duh, welcome to the party.’

Hahaha welcome to the party.

This is an article from Around Azeroth at Wow.com that I rather enjoyed. Warcraft does have some truly magnificent scenery. My comments are the ones in bold italics.

After another hard day’s grind at the PvP factory that is Warsong Gulch, what’s a dedicated Hordie to do? Have a nice, relaxing nap back home in safe territory. Ordruun of <RRT> on Tichondrius shares this peaceful bedtime scene with us, straight from the heart of Orgrimmar. What’s the thread count on those things? Luxurious!

Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!

I’m thinking of starting my own WOW gallery on here, to chronicle some of the amazing sites I’ve picked out from Azeroth.

Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word “Azeroth” in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing — use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, gold seller ads, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

NINJA TURTLES IN DALARAN! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS!?!
