I think that does it. If the area of a pythagorean triangle can't be square, then 1/2eh must not be square. That means 2eh must not be square, being a square times a non-square. But 2eh MUST be a square, otherwise b = e+h +-sqrt(2eh) has no rational solution, which it must. Therefore, we're not dealing with a pythagorean triangle, e=0, rectangle, square, QED.
Of course, I have to be able to reproduce and explain Fermat's original proof, and that explanation makes some jumps I'm thus far unable to follow. But there may yet be hope.

If you have to replicate Fermat, just scrawl out "I have discovered a marvelous proof which is too large to fit on this page" and turn it in. If the teacher calls you on it, just die without explaining yourself.

Just scrawl E=Mc2 on the page with a yellow post-it attached explaining "It's all relative! The voices were right!"
