Oh goodness, no. For one thing, there are lots and lots of dark matter searches going on these days and the chances that the particular effort I work on will be the one to find it are very slim indeed. Moreover, dark matter (despite the sinister-sounding name) is about as far from the Ring as you could imagine; if found, it'll have no practical applications at all, let alone malevolent ones. I certainly did think of a certain unfortunate hobbit when I wrote that line though.
I seem to have inadvertantly hijacked this thread, for which I apologize.
