Touched by a strangelet.

I was just informed that they are starting the Large Hadron Collider at midnight. This is like the "dry run" of this thing which as you know is a particle accelerator designed to make atoms go smashy-smashy. Well, I am not a physicist but you get the idea. You may have heard of it in the "Da Vinci Code" predecessor book "Angels and Demons" (Dan Brown was not in line to be assassinated by the pope for that book so it was not popular), but you probably just saw the movie like an idiot and never even read, because if you did you would have known that this freaking collider thing was happening and warned me already!!!!! But don't worry, the Angels and Demons movie will be out next year and then everyone will be like "oh yeah, the LHC, totally" UNLESS WE ARE ALL SUCKED INTO A MICRO BLACK HOLE. Or touched inappropriately by a strangelet.

"Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles."

Anyway, have fun. OH -- forgot to mention it is mainly contained within France. Which means midnight is in 26 minutes. Enjoy.

If you had a mini black hole, would the singularity be a few inches away from the opening? So you could mess with the cat by throwing her into it and she would appear like a foot away?
