Like I mentioned earlier

Things have a way of popping up in mass-media about 3 days later...(or in this particularly important case- 10 days later...)

A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a black hole.

These guys! Like I said before...shouldn't there be a board of directors saying, "NO! DO NOT MAKE A BLACK HOLE ON OUR PLANET!" Up till now, I thought we were reasonably safe. I was wrong.

When the gold nuclei smash into each other they are broken down into particles called quarks and gluons. These form a ball of plasma about 300 times hotter than the surface of the Sun. This fireball, which lasts just 10 million, billion, billionths of a second, can be detected because it absorbs jets of particles produced by the beam collisions.

The Brown researcher thinks the particles are disappearing into the fireball's core and reappearing as thermal radiation, just as matter is thought to fall into a black hole

However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat. At these energies and distances, gravity is not the dominant force in a black hole.

Riiiight. (that needs some extra "i's") Riiiiiiiiiiiiight! It is "not thought to pose a threat...." What the fuck!!! These moron's (unsupervised, it sounds like) are busy making "black-hole-like energies, and nobody's saying, "Hey Motherfucker, DO NOT MAKE A BLACK HOLE ON OUR PLANET!" Christ! Is it really up to Fjord to prevent our planet from being sucked into a black hole!?!?! I hope not, cause I'm pretty lazy...

Here's the link, incase anyone's interested in how we're all going to die.
