Movie Trivia/Goofs

Movie Goof (factual errors): When Jack is entering the code to arm the alarm system, 7 beeps can be heard - which is not possible, the MA1000e has 4-digit user codes and requires no "enter" afterwards. Even if he arms with bypass, even number of keypresses would be required.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Jack is about to read his poem at the dinner table, his reading glasses are on his face instantly. The camera does leave his face for an instant, but paper is heard shuffling the whole time, so he wouldn't have had time to put on glasses.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Greg stumbles into Jack's office, the lava lamp in the bottom left hand corner of the screen is just warming up (the wax is set in a single column in the liquid). A couple of seconds later, it's working normally, with globs of wax floating up and down.
Movie Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): When Greg is trying to get a plane ticket the clicking noises continue even though the ticket agent is clearly not typing (although it's so obvious, it's probably a joke).
