how would k-mad be to blame?

QT TV Listing of the Week (The Times of London):

" 'Horizon: The Six Billion Dollar Experiment.' BBC Two, 9 p.m. On Nov. 13, physicists will press the GO button on the $6 billion Large Hadron Collider under the suburbs of Geneva, recreating the conditions that were present less than a billionth of a second after the Big Bang. That's the good news. The bad news is that there is an outside chance -- something in the region of 50 million to one -- that it will create a black hole that drags gravity and everything with it into an extra, unseen dimension. So you might want to keep the day free."

The extra unseen dimension can't possibly be worse than the 4 dimensions that we currently live in.

The four-dimensional Corms makes a good point. If it's "extra" and "unseen," it could be because there's something really "special" going on there.
