Okay, so I find it easier to think like this.
1/.1 is 10.
1/.01 is 100.
1/.001 is 1000.
Do you see where I'm going? The closer you get to zero, the bigger the number. So...
1/0 is infinity.
Don't think of it as "1 goes into 0", but "1 over 0". Think of it like a mixed number, such as 2/1.
0/0 is infinity over infinity; making it undefined.
So we know that 0 is equal to infinity. Therefore, it's undefined, because you can't divide by infinity. I is genius. ^^ Now prove my outdated, 1980's era knowledge wrong with your mathematical reasoning and new research.  _________________

Have you seen the Encyclopaedia Dramatica article on this? Seira showed it to me; it's pretty funny. "I divided by zero! OH SH--" *world explodes*

Actually I was just bored and was thinking about one of Pommie's previous avatars, the "dividing by zero--wear protective clothing at all time" or something. ^^ _________________
