Don't worry - if such an experiment can be conducted by man (and some 
say that with the newest CERN particle accelerator it might be 
possible), then nature does it all the time as well, thereby having 
already proven it a harmless prank.

Essentially, any success in creating an artificial black hole in a 
controlled environment with current technology would prove that black 
holes do decay over time, as otherwise our universe would already be 
full of them.

(I personally favor the idea that leptons, quarks and the like might be 
black holes themselves; kind of like the smallest black holes you can 
possibly get.)
