I meant line 2 (it's actually a joke the math professors on the writing team of the Simpsons put in there: it doesn't disprove Fermat's Theorem, but most calculators at the time didn't have the accuracy to cumpute that directly, which is kind of the joke)

There's a book on the subject by Simon Singh, where he writes about all the math jokes in the Simpsons. There are a bunch. ;)
