It's a "Black Mesa" incident waiting to happen.

Damn head-chickens.

Doomed etc.....

I read somewhere recently that the boffins have looked into this and ruled out any risk of (micro) black holes or quark stars (aka strangelets) being created. We should be worried about Hawking radiation though.

HTH.

The Flight to Permiedom

Backtracking

"In the last six months, we've received a marked increase in clients seeking advice about changing from freelance work or self-employment back to the career path they'd been following previously," says Jim Norris, managing director of www.careerclinic.co.uk.

Case study #1:

Olivia, who left a career in HR to start "an organic juicing business, and set up a stand at markets and festivals... My juice business was so unpredictable that I could make thousands in one weekend, or I could spend a fortune on organic produce, have no customers and a pile of expensive fruit going off. So it was a relief to have a monthly salary again."

Case study #2:

Rhona who, after working in PR for thirty years, went to France to live "...a completely different lifestyle - a run-down house, enjoying food and drink, supporting myself with a hotchpotch of jobs." But she found that she wasn't earning enough.

FFS, people...
