Hawking's black holes, unlike classic black holes, do not have a well-defined event horizon that hides everything within them from the outside world.

I don't have an event horizon either, yet I manage to lose information all the time. I guess I'm more powerful than a black hole.

You probably don't need one. Even the very hot Sam Neill couldn't save that movie.

I didn't know there was any problem at all with losing information. My mind is like an old scratch VCR tape that at best holds a few hours worth at a time and at worst doesn't hold much of anything for long.

"I don't have an event horizon either, yet I manage to lose information all the time. I guess I'm more powerful than a black hole."

Curiously, I've just sent my own application to present a paper at the Dublin Conference on this very topic. My contention is that that there are already two black holes right here on earth. They co-exist in a state of equilibrium up Henry Waxman's nostrils. Every so often random information is emitted from them by way of the nearby "cakehole". Ultimately, when all the information has been exhausted a huge vacuum will be left in the skull area which will then implode from external pressure. Mathematical proof to follow.
