    Enjoy your last few months outside of an event horizon.

    I thought all /. readers by now (especially those keeping up with news on the LHC like this guy) would know that the black holes created by this thing will evaporate before being able to do any damage (which would take a long time anyway given how small they would be). What's with the scaremongering, ThanatosMinor? Are you trying to use the "last few months on earth" gag to pick up insecure chicks?
