Where do they come from?
As I touched upon the other day, a black hole forms from a dead/dying stars. The star burns up the fuel that it needs to support the reactions that it creates. This causes the star to fall back in on itself. If the star is massive enough, it will pull other things towards it as well, almost like pulling a plug in a drain. This is a black hole.
What would happen if you got sucked into one of these bad boys?
Well, you would die... However assuming you could survive going past the "event horizon", where everything starts to get pulled in by the black hole, you would get stretched into infinity due to the tremendous difference of gravity at each point of your body.
Other theories about what would happen?
Another theory is that black holes could supposedly be time warps to other parts of space and time. These could be used as shortcuts to other parts of space. Unfortunately, no evidence has been brought to the table that this could actually happen, or if it could we would not be able to survive the trip.
