A thought or the speed of light?
Discuss your answers. I would have to say a thought.

lol

light. a thought has to do with all the wiring of the brain

Definitely light. A thought probably travels at whatever the drift velocity is of the Central Nervous System, and v_d << c

[You have to tell this joke with a native accent]

There were 3 Indians (native americans) sitting in a room contemplating life, and the topic of the fastest thing known to man came up...

The 1st Indian said:

"You know, the fastest thing known to man is a thought... Before you can even think about it, its there."

The 2nd indian said:

"No no no, what are ya talkin' about anyhow? The fastest thing known to man is a lightswitch. as soon as ya flick it, its on."

But the 3rd Indian said:

"No, no, no, you're both wrong... The fastest thing known to man... is diahrrea... I mean last night in bed, before I could even think about turnin' on the lightswitch, there was shit everywhere!"

the speed of light is faster than anything known in the universe. of course gravity ignores this and is apparently instant meaning if there is a messenger parcticle (gravitron), it is instantaneous or somehow ignores the rules of time we percieve... also, paired photons react to their couterpart instantly.

gravitywaves move at the speed of light

My spaceship is so fast it moved at the speed of love.

nothing's faster than love at first sight

except you need light for sight.

/e and love/thinking etc require brain impulses and what not. so nope
