Un-stodgy silliness:

The Incredibles movie provided me with lots of fun opportunities to teach science in a fun way to my kids.
Multi-factor authentican:
- Edna Mode's password can be shoulder surfed, it is 629752. While Edna has definitely not changed her password in a while, hand biometric, voice recognition and self guided machine gun will still provide protection.
Fun with the Physics of the Incredibles:
- The fastest speed estimate of Dashiel Robert Par is 350 MPH. It occurred during the rescue of his sister. Dash runs about 150 MPH away from bad guys and about 85 MPH to catch a football.
- Bob Par's maximum show of energy output is about 840 KiloJoules. Bob, makes a change of plan with a large stone statue, tossing the statue about a foot into the air during a mis-step. (Bob Par is somewhere between 5' and 6' tall; Using the statue's shape and guessing a specific gravity of rock to be 2.5, the weight Bob Par tosses can be estimated.)
Incredible Geography lessons:
- The longitute and Lattitude of Edna Mode's office and Syndro's Island can be worked out.
- From InsuraCare letter head the zip code of Emeryville, California 94608 can be found.
- There is also a real South-West Pacific Island close the the location of Syndro's base.
Rough estimates of movie time:
- Strato Girl attended Bob and Helen Par's wedding. This dates the wedding. It happened before Strato Girl's cape got sucked into a jet engine on April 23rd 1957.
- 15 years later it should be about 1972. When Bob Par reads a newspaper about a missing friend, the year is blurry, but we made out the following date, May 16th 19?2.
- The keyboard layout of all computers is definitely pre-Machintosh, Closer to the Texas Instrument Mini-Computer layout of the mid 1970s.
