Dividing by zero is a difficult feat. In fact, it's long been considered impossible, like licking your elbow. However, just as quadruple-amputees recently proved that licking one's own elbow is perfectly feasible, division by zero can also be accomplished.
One caveat: attempting this may cause the implosion of the universe.

Now, imagine the pie is cut into slices a nothingth of an inch wide. They have no mass, area, or flavour. How many of these slices does it take to fill up the pie?
Forget about the pie. If you have imagined a nothingth of an inch, you have already divided something by zero! That wasn't so hard, now, was it?
[edit] The Answer
You want me to tell you the answer? Not until you've finished your pie. Hurry up and finish your pie!
[edit] Division by Zero and the End of the Universe
Some have theorized that a successful division by zero would lead to the creation of a new universe, which would annihilate the present universe. However, this may not be as problematic as it sounds, as the current universe is basically shite and the new one is likely to have free beer.
The Windows calculator bundled with Windows Vista is said to be able to divide a number by zero, but no one has been able to get past the billions and billions of warning prompts. Actually, they haven't even been able to get past the billions and billions of warning prompts required to open the calculator in the first place.
GNU EMACS can divide by zero, but the lisp function which does so recurs an infinite number of times.
