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.
Kids these days don't wear watches of any kind. Why would they need to, since they always have their phones on them? Those of us old-timers who still like watches tend to go for hands. If you're going to be anachronistic, might as well be stylish about it. (Right, Peter?)
Does this mean we won't be demolished to make way for that interstellar bypass now?
