  If I remember correctly, for a rotating black hole the singularity
will have a torus shape (with a minor radius of zero). The faster it
rotates, the larger the torus. I might remember this wrongly, though.

  Likewise the event horizon elongates, and if it rotates fast enough,
might even get some kind of torus shape itself as well, or something
like that.
