On another note, strangelets are in danger of being produced in high energy collision apparatus being placed into operation on earth. In such a scenario, the strangelet would burrow into the center of the earth and proceed, more or less speedily, to consume the earth's matter from inside out while producing enormous heat. Ultimate the whole earth would melt down. Too skeery.

Larry Niven specializes in "black-hole-dropped-into-[planet]-and-eating-it-from-the-inside"-type stories.
Tongue firmly in cheek...check.
Tinfoil hat in place...check.
Pseudoscience mode engaged...check.
Maybe this is a rational explanation for cases of Spontaneous Human Cumbustion.
IF we could get a small enough piece, and aim it right, we could make a killing marketing it as a diet aid.
