I was trying to reconcile how coat hangars seem to muliply given the black 
hole.   But then I realized that they must be the product of 
hangar/antihanger creation.  The antihangers are left inside the blackhole,
having been created within the event horizon, with the hangars ending up
on the rack, having been created outside the event horizon.

Perhaps if we allow enough hangar/antihanger pairs to be created, the closet
black hole will decrease in mass suffient to cease to exist and our suits 
will actually remain the correct size!
