Today I read in the entertaining book of math anecdotes assembled by Steven G. Krantz that the following was scribbled on the wall of a New York City subway station: "I have just found a truly marvelous proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. But the train is coming and I don't have time to write it down."

I mean - what have you got to lose?
You know, you come from nothing,
you' re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!
