French And CERN Build Massive Particle Accelerator (Black Hole Generator) Unknown Planetary Risk To Create BIG BANG
 
Yeah, if there has never been a micro black hole generated by some of
those NASCAR collisions then nothing could ever generate one!

There have been numerous black holes created by the collision of 2 or
more Nascar vehicles, fortunately the only thing ever lost to one was
the cans of beer the drivers were holding at the time.
