The Undersea Railroad?

I haven't really played WoW for some time now. In fact I haven't even logged in to see the 2.4 patch. I did get to hear about some of the dailies from people who do play. Apparently one of the dailies needed you to free the murloc slaves.

It was when I heard that I felt morally conflicted.

From my knowledge, murlocs were the bane of a WoW player's existence. The annoying war cry, the constant need to bring every other murloc in a 5 mile radius just because you sneezed too loudly, and even a particular CM from way back who had a murloc forum avatar. For all I knew it was poetic justice that murlocs become the slaves of naga. This of course made me very confused.

At this point I realized that it would amuse me to see MLK's famous "I Have a Dream" speech done by a murloc in the garbled murloc sounds. Even stranger was the connection to Mr. King and murlocs themselves. Take the phonetic sound of murloc and take away some letters. Mur-Lo-K. That's a little weird and I'm sure that certifies me as a conspiracy theorist.

Now that I'm done with the weirdness I think I should go and get some fresh air. This is odd even for me.
