Brian - that's a really scary picture. My first thought while reading about a black hole starting to consume everything reminded me of the Andromeda Strain, so now I'm wondering if they have a panic button to set an H-bomb off, and if it would stop it.

How about building a laser on the moon and just pointing it towards the center of the moon? When you drilled through and the moon feel apart, the earth would get a new orbit, and the destabilation would probably cause it to destruct.
