Don't know how many of you remember the intro to this game where a govt.lab ex[eriment goes wrong and fubars the planet. Well I couldn't help but think of that game when I read this:

"A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a black hole, a physicist has said."

So should we be worried? I already have guns and a motorcyle so I'm all set.

no there's nothing to fear woodchip.

a kickass unexpected anomaly though.

Very cool stuff. And no, I don't think we have to worry about the universe imploding.

P.S.

at the black hole "picture" associated with that article. So that's what they look like!

Very interesting. Could fuel speculative fiction.

A black hole that size would have an event horizon of maybe a few microns at most. All youd need would be to magneticly suspend it somehow in a vacuum.

Very interesting stuff, good thing gravity is not the major force involved, or we might be humming a different tune.

Heh... bin Laden dreams of having enough resources to come even close to making any of those happen.
