[jQuery] Multiple calls to $(document).ready()

[jQuery] Multiple calls to $(document).ready()

Is it appropriate to have multiple calls to $(document).ready() ?
For instance, I include a common.js which has a call to
$(document).ready() that hides elements of class "hide" -->
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".hide").hide();
});
Inside a special page (which has included common.js in the <HEAD>), I
inline a script with a call to $(document).ready() -->
...
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
alert('Blimey');
});
// ]]>
</script>
...
Both functions seem to run without troubles in IE/FF (haven't tested
Safari, O9). Only the first call to $(document).ready() executes in
Opera 8.5 -- leaving me to believe that two calls to document.ready() is
inappropriate?
