I'm reminded of this exchange from Futurama
Hermes Conrad: This is mighty strange. First the civilization of Space Rome collapsed, then Don Martin 3 went kerflooie, and now Tweenis 12.
Fry: Looks like this planet is next in line.
Leela: That's Earth.
[Fry just stares at her]
Leela: The planet we live on?
Fry: I'd hate to be those guys.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
