I'm not sure if leaving out a constant of integration or ignoring the existence of -1 are any better than division by zero...
There are many (that aren't arithmetic errors), like the Banach-Tarski paradox - assuming a particularly annoying axiom, the theorem gives a great way of completely confusing geometric ideas. One application is that one can decompose a sphere into a small number of slices and reassemble it into two spheres of the same size, which of course leads to the following joke:
"How many ways are there to rearrange the letters in Banach-Tarski?"
"Infinitely many - Banach-Tarski, Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski, Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski, Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski Banach-Tarski..."
