If you divide a pie by 4, you have 4 pieces. If you divide your pie by 2, you have two pieces to distribute.

If you divide it by zero, you haven't divided it at all, so you get to eat the whole dang pie.

I see nothing wrong with that.

To think I spent 5 years working on a theory of division by zero during middle and high school years, only to discover that what I had done had already been done - and far more completely than I had done!
