how big is the other side of the black hole ,event horizon,thing singularity,mamas spegattiefriction thingy? can it be done?whos first?

The point at the center of a black hole is called a singularity. Within a certain distance of the singularity, the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing--not even light--can escape.That distance is called the event horizon. That is the reason why the black hole is dark, there is no light reaching your eyes because it is "absorbed" by the black hole. Remember, the reason why you can see, why you have vision, is because light reaches your eyes from either a light source (light bulb, sun, ect..) or it bounces of other objects, thats why you can see these objects, the light reaches the the object from a light source, part of this light is bounced off this object, reaching your eyes and so you can see it, in the dark there is not light source and so no light to bounce objects and so you cannot see. OK then, back to topic. The event horizon is not a physical boundary but the point-of-no-return for anything that crosses it. When people talk about the size of a black hole, they are referring to the size of the event horizon. The more mass the singularity has, the larger the event horizon. The structure of a black hole is something like this:

A gravitational singularity ( this is the case of the black hole) is, approximately, a place where quantities which are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite. Such quantities include the curvature of spacetime or the density of matter. Yes, at the point of singularity, density and matter are infinite! Can you imagine that? According to general relativity, a black hole's mass is entirely compressed into a region with zero volume, which means its density and gravitational pull are infinite, and so is the curvature of space-time that it causes. These infinite values cause most physical equations, including those of general relativity, to stop working at the center of a black hole. So physicists call the zero-volume, infinitely dense region at the center of a black hole a singularity. The singularity in a non-rotating, uncharged black hole is a point, in other words it has zero length, width, and height. Amazing isn't it? How can something like that exist?

But there is an important uncertainty about this description: quantum mechanics is as well-supported by mathematics and experimental evidence as general relativity, and it does not allow objects to have zero size—so quantum mechanics says the center of a black hole is not a singularity but just a very large mass compressed into the smallest possible volume. At present we have no well-established theory that combines quantum mechanics and general relativity; and the most promising candidate, string theory, also does not allow objects to have zero size.
Many people think that nothing can escape the intense gravity of black holes. If that were true, the whole Universe would get sucked up. Only when something (including light) gets within a certain distance from the black hole, will it not be able to escape. But farther away, things do not get sucked in. Stars and planets at a safe distance will circle around the black hole, much like the motion of the planets around the Sun. The gravitational force on stars and planets orbiting a black hole is the same as when the black hole was a star because gravity depends on how much mass there is--the black hole has the same mass as the star, it's just compressed.
Spaghettification is the stretching of objects into long thin shapes (rather like spaghetti) in a very strong gravity field, and is caused by extreme tidal forces. In the most extreme cases, near black holes, the stretching is so powerful that no object can withstand it, no matter how strong its components are (components used and found now). OK made simpler: Right now if you stand up, your feet and legs are suffering more gravitational force (gravity) than your head, this of course is no problem here on Earth, but on a black hole, the gravitational pull (how strong the force of gravity is when falling) is so strong that due your legs suffering more gravitanional force than your head, you get stretched, so strectched that each time you get longer and thiner, human spaghetti!!!

Don't you just love astronomy?

Edit: Here are a few links to some documentaries which will give you much better understanding of this subject, I really recomend them, trust me, when you have some time, take a look:
