OT: Simon Singh and 9 million bicycles

["Barbara Philbrick" <caslon -at- alltel -dot- net>]

Does anyone know if the technically accurate but somewhat less lyrical Simon
Singh version of 9 Million Bicycles is available online anywhere? 

He was the keynote speaker at the STC Conference. Great keynote speaker. For
those of you interested in correcting technical inaccuracies in lyrics, here
are the changes Simon recommended:

The original verse by Katie Melua in the original version of Nine Million
Bicycles:
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.

The new, more scientifically accurate verse by Simon Singh:
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.
