Lab Created Black Hole?

Blarrrg writes "Humans may have created the first ever black hole in a lab. From the article: '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.'"

That's nothin'. Three years ago my PHB created a black hole in his office. He calls it a desk, but everyone else knows better.

Even if it's not a black hole, experiments that produce surprising results are always welcome.
I would have said "experiments that produce surprising results and are reproducable are always welcome."

I would have said, "Experiments that produce surprising results and are reproducable and don't cause a major catastrophy are always welcome."
