Aha. This makes more sense
Fermat wrote something like "x^n+y^n=z^n only when n=2. I have concocted a marvellous proof of this but this margin is too narrow to contain it". Conventional wisdom is that Fermat was trolling generations of mathematicians and didn't have a proof at all.

I'm not sure I didn't steal it from someone else :(
But if they don't pop up to claim it I'm happy to take all credit.
It's impossible for Fermat to have had anything similar to the actual proof of the theorem, since it relies on maths developed in the 20th century. At this point, Stephen Fry (prompted by a researcher who's been reading Wikipedia in the back room) would doubtless say that it seems likely an elementary proof could be found (due to Friedman's Grand Conjecture, of which I've never heretofore heard), but it would be insanely long.
/just been reading Wikipedia blog
Also, clicks to both images, since I've been insanely rude :)
I like the romantic notion that he really did have a proof that everyone has since overlooked
(cos he was a great big genius), but Simon Singh's book (which is fantastic) makes the point that he probably had a flawed proof along the lines of some of the later attempts.

I much prefer the idea that he was trolling everyone
I like to think that mathematicians back in them olden days weren't as po-faced and serious as we all believe and instead liked to arse around like the rest of us.
Fermat was an amateur mathematician, so this was his arsing around.
Also, I have met Andrew Wiles, as he went to my college.

But I can't take all the credit, it was inspired by a line in Caitlin Moran's book "How to be a woman" on how women have a lot of trouble with increasingly small pants "Batman doesn't have to put up with this shit" which then caused my brain to Superman and Batman discussing the logistics of thongs :)

i was reading dave mustaine of megadeth's biography a while back
he was set up on a date with bellinda and he had been doing lots of drugs at that time, and when she knocked on their studio door to meet him he was in the middle of a session. so he smokes up a wrap of heroin that's lying around nearby and answers the door to her, only to cough and blow the smoke right into her face. needless to say, she turned and walked straight out.
edit: here it is
"At one point in the mid 1980s, I was set up on a date with Belinda Carlisle, the former lead singer of an almost freakishly popular girl band called the Go-Go's and at that time a solo artist. In this case, I was more than happy to suspend my feelings about pop and metal making strange bedfellows. Belinda was gorgeous, and she was at that time, ubiquitous (as well as single). I have no idea if she was a fan of Megadeath or of heavy metal in general. I know only that through an intermediary I was to meet her and were to embark on an honest-to-goodness "date." Belinda came to the Music Grinder one day while were were starting to mix So Far, So Good... So What! Unfortunately, her timing could have been better. Moments before she arrived, I had finished snorting a balloon of heroin. As she knocked at the door I chucked the empty balloon behind a dresser and lit up a joint - better the sweet smell of weed than the acrid odor of smack. Belinda walked in looking positively radient - and sober, I should add - and smiled.. "Hello," she said. I tried to choke back a lungful of smoke, but to no avail. "Whoo-huh!" I barked, a cloud of gray filling the air. Belinda turned on her heel and walked right back out of the room. And that was the end of that particular love story. It was, I guess, doomed from the very beginning."

Belinda Carlisle was almost as much of an addict at the time
she was on a lot of coke and booze at least from the Go-gos onward It was probably more the coughing up than drugs that put her off

That looks like a good read - I've just added the Kindle edition to my holiday reading! :-)
i'd say it's downside is the drug related stories start getting a bit tiresome toward the end of the book (not the stories so much, more the description of the drugs and drug taking), but they are entertaining.
