Reminds me of the Douglas Adams bit, early on in the "Restaurant" book, where he described the need for entirely new verb tenses for languages spoken by time-traveling civilizations. I don't remember the exact text, and it seemed like a quick throwaway paragraph buried in the larger story, but I though it was utterly brilliant.
