Strange matter, or "strangelets" are a bigger worry than black holes. A single stranglet particle can react with normal matter and cause a highly volatile chain reaction which might instantly at best turn the Earth into a glowing mass of strange matter glowing at 10 million degrees F. But that will never happen either since strangelets are positive charged, just like protons, which will make them repel each other natuarlly rather than destroy each other's charges in a cataclysmic event.
In any case! Looking forward to Oct.21st. Hope they finally find the god particle.
