Because when you do, everything explodes. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
But if everything is exploded, then you have nothing left. So divided by zero stuff is zero, because everything’s incinerated and there is nothing left, and nothing = 0 (or 0 = nothing).
For a more serious explanation, looked around Gecko’s blog, but I’m too tired to bother searching for it. Cya.
[This is Gecko, and I divided by zero, and the world’s still here. HA!]
That’s just because someone (probably to CIA or government or something) decided to hide those type of explosions. IT STILL HAPPENED! IT STILL EXPLODED! They just hid it from you!!
[Um. You said that if you divided by zero, there would be nothing left. Everything is still here. I HAVE PROOF BECAUSE IF YOU’RE READING THIS, READER, YOU ARE HERE, THUS DISPROVING IT! ):< ]
BUT I DIDN’T MEAN EVERYTHING IN THAT WAY! D<<<< The numbers would explode, whatever you divided by 0, the 0, and the division sign, and possibly the = sign, too, is what exploded. Therefore, there is nothing left of the math problem, so the answer is zero.
[I can still write 8/0=???. The numbers are still here. Now, uhm, er… cheeeeseeee]
BUT DID YOU ACTUALLY DO THE EQUATION? No, you just wrote it; it didn’t actually do the equation. You just wrote it. Therefore, it didn’t explode. If I just write 1+1=??? Have I actually done the equation? NO!
[

See, jury? I really did divide by zero! And THAT is why I am RIGHT! HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA MUAHAHAHAHAHHA *cough cough* Ha ha, ha. Ha.
]
AH! LIKE I SAID! PROOF THAT WHAT I SAID IS RIGHT! THEY’RE HIDING IT! IT’S ALL A LIE! IT’S ALL IN THE BACKGROUND! THEY’RE ALL LIARS! WHOEVER MADE THIS CALCULATOR IS A LIAR.
[Wait… WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?? OH RIGHT ABOUT DIVISION BY ZERO!!! I SHALL NOW REFER TO MY PREVIOUS POST ABOUT… (hold on…) http://climbinggecko.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/why-anything-%C3%B7-zero-is-impossible/ HA HA HA MY LOGIC BEATS YOUR LOGIC! THERE ARE NO CONSPIRACIES, THE GOVERNMENT IS GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD GOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOODGOOD]
THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY POINT!! *points to drawing with all the squiggly lines* IT EXPLODED! IT EXPLODED! AND THE CONSPIRACY COULDN’T HIDE IT BECAUSE. . . Uh. . . erm. . . because. . . because . . . BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW YOUR BLOG EXISTS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

{Around then, everyone concerned with this post (besides the conspirators that there is actually no proof of their existence and probably don’t really exists) were dragged off to an insane asylum. . . So yeah, but they allowed them to continue to post under close supervision. Also I’d like to give thanks to–}

{As I was saying–}
