I saw this time quote about ten years ago when I read
Flight to the Mushroom Planet :

There was once a lady named bright,
who's speed was far faster than light,
she set out one day,
in a relative way,
and returned home the previous night.

                                         Tyco M. Bass

this was discussed some time back in net.physics.  an English colleague
of Einstein's (whose name escapes me at the moment, but he was a
physicist and a writer) in about 1929 or so penned this one to
celebrate his first lecture tour in England.  this is according to
"Einstein: The Life and Times", which i have lying around somewhere
at home.
