Cheese'n Rice!! I have to take half a Xanax to ride the subway most of the time...now I'm freaked out I'm going to get sucked down a Swiss atomic K-hole.
I'm leaving work early--I'm going home to make a drink and play my new "Celebration" CD very loudly while crying quietly on my couch.
@brookguy: Before the LHC opened for biddness in September '08, scientists theorized that it COULD be possible that accelerating subatomic particles and clashing them MIGHT yield antimatter, ie, microscopic black holes. It hasn't happened yet, so I doubt it ever will. Rest easy and enjoy your weekend gimlet(s).
It didn't happen only through the efforts of two gallant gentlemen from Florida who sued away the possibility. Better living through bitter litigation!
When material objects get sucked into the belly of a black hole, they don't disappear from view. They appear suspended in perpetuity on the brink of the event horizon. Which means that even if the Earth collapses into a black hole, the universe will still have to watch "Dancing With the Stars."

Prequel, not sequel.

How do I know this? Transcontinental flights and low standards.

No, seriously. I'm hoping we're not depending on NASA (ye of the Arby's Moon Landing Instructional Video) to save us from intergalactic war.
