"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western
Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at
a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant
little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly
primitive that they think digital watches are a pretty neat idea."
~Douglas Adams (1952-2001)~
