Ok, was he stealing the cynder blocks and piping and he got away with it as the security guard was looking for something more sinister/valuable?

Find values for a, b and c and n in the following formula
a^n + b^n = c^n
where a, b and c are positive integers, and;
where n is an integer greater than 2
:D
n can be any value so long as a,b,c = 1

A man who worked as a builder was suspected of stealing from his work. Every day when he finished his shift he would push a wheelbarrow of bricks and other worthless building materials to his ute. The security guards would check the wheelbarrow but all they ever found were a few blocks of cinderblock and bits of plastic piping. What was he stealing and how did he get away with it?
Damn... I actually knew the answer to this... the real answer!
This was an ancient Sufi story (Islamic mysticism).
Nasrudin was smuggling something across the border with his donkeys, but the border guards couldn't figure out what it was. They were so frustrated, they offered Nasrudin a full pardon if they would only tell them what it was that he was smuggling...
:D

I have a man's name yet I cannot be held. If you put me in a box it would not get heavier, in fact the opposite. Though I can be seen by eye.
What Am I?

(I don't think this one has been done before, but forgive me if it has).
Two girls were born the same day, at just about the same time, in the same hospital, the same year, and they have the same parents. How is it possible that they aren't twins?
