/ 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-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant      |
| little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly        |
| primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea ...      |
