That report called the chances that Earth will be swallowed by a man-made black hole extremely small, giving it less than 1 in 100,000,000,000 odds
Lab fireball 'may be black hole' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4357613.stm Artist's representation of a black hole, BBC Creating the conditions for the formation of black holes is one of the aims of particle physics A fireball created in a US particle accelerator has the characteristics of a black hole, a physicist has said. It was generated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York, US, which smashes beams of gold nuclei together at near light speeds
If this were to happen, we'd all be gone instantly, right? Because if I'm just having some breakfast, then its over, I'm not going to worry about it.

No. Supposedly, all black holes slowly evaporate - they lose energy due to certain quantum effects which results in Hawking radiation. For the big ones in space this is pretty meaningless, but very very small black holes will evaporate quickly in a burst of radiation. Maybe. It's a little controversial. This kind of study is important in finding out exactly how gravity works. There might be some danger, but then that is where science gets it bold and daring reputation from. It eats risk and craps a devil-may-care attitude. You know, leather-clad lab techs riding on their motorbikes down Mayberry's main street shocking fathers by telling the girls in the malt shop "I've got a 14 inch slide rule and I know how to use it. All. Night. Long."
