  <title>divide by zero</title>
  <content>&lt;h2&gt;Origins&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Division by zero is thought to be impossible.  Many postulate that if anything was in fact divided by zero the apocalypse would ensue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/6/6a/Divide.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though there are many variations on this meme, they all revolve around the theme of something extremely bad happening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Usage&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is a common usage:  It is implied that someone divided by zero, and now there&amp;#8217;s a hole in the bottom of the sea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This meme has a high level of compatibility with other memes, demonstrated below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If anyone cares about the math, this is why you cannot divide by zero&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Olmecs are credited with the discovery of 0. Thus, it is also believed that they were the first ones to divide by it. We can see how that turned out for them since they aren&amp;#8217;t here anymore.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
