Revealing: When Larry and Amelia's plane takes off, the cables it is held onto easily rip off from the canvas. For security measures, a real cable would be made of steel, therefore ripping the structure instead of just snapping like a string.

Factual error: When bobble head Einstein states the value of PI as 3.14159265, he says "exactly". Einstein would never have said anything like that, since PI is an irrational number that goes on without end. Furthermore, the best approximation for PI that the Egyptians had was 256/81 or about 3.16, so they certainly would not have set their code to 3.14159265.
