      Definitely the big deadly big back holes!
      But an interesting question is: how small can a big deadly black hole actually be? Some people think that you can make ‘micro black holes’ – which are just as cool and deadly, but the same size as an atom!
      So I guess those would be my favourite – the atomic-sized deadly black holes 🙂
      (We don’t need to be too scared of them though, because they (probably) won’t come to Earth any time soon)
