Black holes have almost no properties which allow us to tell anything about them, except that they have spin, charge, and the apparent diameter provided by the event horizon, which is apparently a function of mass. I wonder what would happen if two holes with opposite spin, identical mass and neutral charge collided. Especially if the event horizon were small enough... Hutch
