[net.space] breaking the light barrier

I remember reading an SF short (very short) story about the light barrier.
In it, the handsome, brilliant hero built his star ship based on an unlimited
power supply he had discovered.  He shoved the throttle forward, and when he
hit the speed of light, his ship attained infinite mass and caused the entire
universe to collapse into a giant black hole.

The moral:  you *can* go faster than light . . . once.
