Infinity...that is very interesting. Anyone else recall what they were
taught in their math classes concerning a number being divided by zero?
Figuratively speaking, "A" divided by "B" equals a number of times one
should take "B" to fill "A" with it. If you take 0 for "B" and any
_other_ number for "A" you will never end filling the latter with the
former. Thus division by 0 is said to equal infinity. The result of
0/0 is still undefined.
