Hi Robin,
Not sure of the humor but here is the link. Fictional accounts did predate
the experiment. My old Buck Roger's comic book can attest to that.

Hi,

The experiment demonstrating that light can be " frozen" would make better
sense if it were fiction which only proves that truth is always stranger
than fiction.

<g> Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is actually an SF story (
Light of Other Days) so it does predate the recent "frozen light"
experiments.
