I am very curious about black holes, ever since I was told that a teaspoon full of the material from the average black hole weights more then mount-everest. I would love to learn all I can about them, and thanks SO much for your help.

Firstly, black holes do not have substance. The object you are thinking of whose material masses many tons per teaspoonful is a neutron star.
Here are some good black hole links:

Lots of pretty pictures and animations; some good introductory general relativity

Black holes are elegant theoretical entities that cannot exist
A black hole would be a 2 to 3 solar mass entity 3 km in diameter whose surface gravity was such that the surface escape velocity would be greater than the speed of light.
A lot of prominent scientists believe they are viable entities.

Hi. I would suggest you study neutron stars first. The are ALMOST a black hole but still follow physical laws. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star Once you get your mind around these objects the black hole becomes more understandable.
