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.)
