There's Too Many People (Putting Holes In Their Heads)

That's weird. While breaking down Katie Melua's hippie folk song, during an academic discussion of "alternative" medicine, Simon Singh stumbled into what's wrong with life, in general, right now:

"We're not '12 billion light years from the edge' - if that's an implication for the age of the universe, the universe is 13.7 billion light years old.
