eah I've often thought that black holes must be awfully hot. I
  mean gravity will suck the heat right back in before we could
  see it... but then there's the escaping 'other half' according
  to hawking if I remember right... which I _think_ Suskind says
  balderdash to. Then again.. Suskind believes we're really a
  hologram stretched across a black hole, only believing we're
  real and stuff.

  Whatever works for them tongue emoticon After all, 'til we
  measure one, it's really science fiction backed up by math and
  our imaginations.
