Investigating Artificial Black Holes

Robber Baron writes "I remember years ago watching a cartoon in which an inventor had managed to create 'portable holes.' Now along those lines, according to this story in the Christian Science Monitor, scientists are on the threshhold of developing the 'do-it-yourself black hole' (Well, no, it's not quite do-it yourself as you need a pretty large collider to pull it off.) They're hoping to use the new Large Hadron Collider at the European Center for Nuclear Research to create many tiny black holes and observe the Hawking Effect as they dissipate. Keep your shotgun handy though, as they are more than likely going to open up a portal into another dimension and all sorts of nasties are going to come pouring out."

    Grandma got run over by a reindeer
    Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.
    You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
    But as for me an' Grandpa, we believe.

    She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
    And we begged her not to go.
    But she forgot her medication,
    And she staggered out the door
    into the snow.

    When we found her Christmas morning,
    At the scene of the attack
    She had hoof prints on her forehead,
    And incriminating Claus marks
    on her back.

    Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,
    He's been taking this so well.
    See him in there watching football,
    Drinking beer and playing cards
    with cousin Mel.

    It's not Christmas without Grandma,
    All the family's dressed in black.
    And we just can't help but wonder
    Should we open up her gifts
    or send them back?

    Now the goose is on the table
    And the pudding made of fig
    (ahhhhh!)
    And the blue and silver candles,
    That would just have matched the hair
    in Grandma's wig.

    I've warned all my friends and neighbors,
    Better watch out for yourselves.
    They should never give a license,
    To a man who drives a sleigh
    and plays with elves.

    Sing it, Grandpa!
