Out of curiosity: what are you referring to?

The barman says "We don't serve neutrinos here"

A neutrino walks into a bar.

Isn't that a tachyon?
The news was that neutrino was measured to have FTL speed.
Probably the faster than light neutrino a little while back. Turned out to be a loose cable if I recall correctly.
I have to give the news media credit for not subsequently reporting:

"Experts Report Loose Cables Probable Method of Faster-Than-Light-Travel! How You Will Soon Make the Kessel Run in Less Than Twelve Parsecs."

Parsec is a measurement of distance not time.
Google "Kessel Run in Less Than Twelve Parsecs"

Although it seems like the gp misread decay.
