Yeah. Sure. You can accelerate particles to 99.999% of C or thereabouts, 
crash it into something, and end up with a black hole that by a 
MINDBOGGLING coincidence has a speed relative to earth of less than 
10km/s or so.

Which doesn't sound very likely.

Besides, it's moot anyway; any black hole created at the energies 
involved would eva****ate near-instantly anyway.
