Let's say the outside observer measures the slow-down of the clock and 
calculates that the victim's clock will read 1PM at the moment the victim 
crosses the EH.  Will the victim ever experience 1:01PM?  What will the rest 
of the universe look like when the victim experiences 1:01PM? If the 
victim's clock actually stops with respect to the outside universe, the 
entire universe will age and disappear (or big crunch) before the clock 
reads 1:01PM, yes?

Rotating highly charged black holes that don't have the same Schwartzchild 
equations. (The Schwartzchild equations only work for non-rotating 
non-charged black holes, methinks.) If you spin the black hole fast enough, 
the equator doesn't have an EH, or the pole doesn't, or something. (I've 
heard speculation that the equations must therefore be wrong.)
