If a black hole was formed at the LHC it would have the mass of a few nucleons; if you think about it, its gravitational effects would be no different than if a gas molecule were floating around your head.
Then why are we even talking about this? Obviously I know how this shit works. A black hole of even several hundred pounds wouldn't have any effect even millimeters away.
