Pretty Soon Everyone Will Have One ...

... universes, that is.

Um ... okay.

Back in the 80's there was a show called "Cheers" about a Boston bar and the regulars who inhabited it. One of my favorite lines was uttered by Dr. Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer:
"They can put a man on the moon, but we can't put foil in a microwave!"
My point? I see this talk about "creating universes" from "mini black holes" to be a lot of fanciful talk; the stuff of dreams. It'll never happen.

Now hitch up the horses ... I've got to go into town. Where's my buggy whip?
