Old chestnut
but Simon Singh rewrites Mike Batt\ Katie Melua
"We are 12 billion light-years from the edge,
That's a guess,
No one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be with you."
becomes
"We are 13.7 billion light-years from
the edge of the observable universe,
That's a good estimate with
well-defined error bars,
Scientists say it's true, but
acknowledge that it may be refined,
And with the available information, I predict that I will always be
with you"+
