I was about to make another "witty" remark, but a picture search for "furry" and "sheep" isn't something I necessarily recommend.

Ah.
Sorry about that.

Sorry about that. When I sent you on that casting, I could have sworn the guy said "Faun star".

It should have had the warning "Norman Hunter OG bites yer bum!"

Now that's a straight to video that's never going to sell.

But it would go viral, at least among the CP community!

Yet another nasty viral thing OG has to deal with. It's the real reason he was offline for so long recently.

Just some questions out of curiosity:
1. How far is the nearest black hole to us? If it comes closer, can our Earth be swallowed?
2. Is there a minimum distance (calculated) between two black holes, for both of them to exist in a stable state?
Perhaps no definitive answers exist, but any pointers, suggestions, comments, guess-estimates are welcome.

1) Nobody knows for sure (you can't see the buggers directly), but there is one 1600 light years away: http://www.universetoday.com/75723/where-is-the-nearest-black-hole/[^] - and they could be a lot closer. Could it swallow our earth? Oh yes. Easily, once it's tidal forces had ripped the planet to pieces and smearing out into the accretion disk.
2) Not really - the problem is that there isn't really a minimum distance on a "normal" scale as it also depends on how fast they might orbit each other, AFAIK.

Infinity/Not Applicable or indeterminate.
Hawking radiation means that all BHs will eventually evaporate (although over time scales long enough that they'll be the last gasps before the heat death of the universe.
Gravitational radiation produced by the interaction of any two BHs will eventually cause them to spiral in and merge with each other (assuming they don't evaporate first). The timescale for the last of these events is also potentially as long as the heat death of the universe. The potential gotcha with this is that depending on exactly what dark energy is/how it works BHs beyond a certain distance will eventually be yanked across the horizon of each others observable universe and be unable to interact again.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Don't worry about black holes instead worry about assholes. If you replace black holes with ass holes you are asking some very pertinent questions.
1. How far is the nearest black ass hole to us? If it comes closer, can our Earth be swallowed?
2. Is there a minimum distance (calculated) between two black ass holes, for both of them to exist in a stable state?

1. Most likely is one at the center of our galaxy, so that would be about 50.000 light year if I am right.
There might more lurking closer, somewhere in the milky way but I dunno about them...
2. dunno either, but I guess 2 small blackholes could very well gravitate around each other separated only by a few hundred / thousands million kilometers... (earth is 150 million kilometers from the sun, I guess it might have to be 10 times that at least) we already detected star - black hole binary pairs, the smallest black hole being about 10 solar mass it's not that hard to imagine...

Theoretically when you get close enough to a black hole you will be fried by radiation.
if you emit a light beam from your position to the outside, the light will be red shifted, because your time has slowed down, conversely all the incoming light will be blue shifted to ultra violet, then gamma rays.
(you will probably not see visible light pictures as far as I understood)
