Alright, I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs some clarification.

As a novelist Wells made his debut with The Time Machine, a parody of English class division and a satirical warning that human progress is not inevitable. The Time Traveller lands in the year 802701 and finds two people: the Eloi, weak and little, who live above ground, and the Morlocks, carnivorous creatures that live below ground.

It's a poke at the romantic notion the far left has of itself as being part of *the underground*. The metaphor extends (for example, naive college students are cast as the Eloi) but I can't locate the origin and full description at the moment.

I never saw nor read The Time Machine so the term "Morlock" was unknown to me.

The Morlocks were also used as a class of mutants in the X-Men comics. They were so physically deformed by their mutations they had fled and established colonies underground in sewers and below to hide from even their more human looking mutant counterparts.

H.G.Wells coined the phrase "Morlock" long before the X-men comics came about. {Slaps Tyranny upside the head so hard his lily whites are exposed}

The Morlocks from the X-Men comics were inspired by H.G.Wells. I should have put that in my original post but didn't think someone would actually make the mistake of assuming I thought the X-Men versions came first. That WOULD deserve a slap, thankfully I know better, so...

*slaps Woody upside the head so hard he stops making stupid assumptions*

EDIT: hrm...a prolonged abuse to the head would actually make one more prone to making stupid assumptions....lets see, I'm up 3 slaps to 1 right? Your decision making skills must be my fault!

You are correct (what was the question? )

Actually you are wrong as I biatch slapped you once before for slapping me so that makes it 2-3. My slaps are more powerful as they are affecting your memory

*slap*

hah! I'm up by two again though, so nya!

Just watched the videos.

Hilarious. Totally hilarious.
