No chance of intelligent life developing here, and I am only visiting.

Most of what passes for intelligent life seems to be unaccountably concerned with passing around small green pieces of paper, and comparing their digital watches.

(I suppose I could have updated that to "mobile phones", but then it wouldn't have been as recognisable.)

(I'm also not sure we can still live up to the description of "Mostly harmless" either.)
