My bank has just installed dance mats with pressure pads in front of its ATMs. When you select "Change Your PIN" you have the option of selecting a Dance PIN. Select your tune and dance some steps to the chorus - dance it again the same way to confirm. From then on you just have to perform the same
boogie to confirm your identity.
Of course if you can't really dance, then anyone behind you can simply watch and copy your moves so you'll need to practice hard to get something tricky and unique. Almost unbreakable codes can be programmed by people who've really got the groove.
Ok, so my bank hasn't really done this. But it should have.

Does it dispence loose change after a tap-
dance holding a ukulele? |

|
Interesting - so you won't be able to get any cash when you're drunk, but you'll think you can? |
|
|
Pretty baked. I saw a guy in Camden doing just this over the weekend. (insert laughing emoticon) |
|
|
+ Does anyone remember the Twist or the Mashed Potatoes? |
|
|
I think "The Squirm" would be more
appropriate. |
|
|
Perhaps someone could implement this for the house front door lock and test it... |
|
|
Oh, that would make a nice pick-up line: |
|
|
- Excuse me, miss, but I can't go home because I'm too drunk to perform the Sesame dance. May I go to your place? |
|
|
Hmmm, would the sensitive pad also be evaluating stuff like your weight, footsize, etc? I'm forseeing a time when i couldn't withdraw $ from my account because I put on a few pounds... how embarrassing would THAT be? |
|
|
[biglseep], you obviously haven't seen me dance. |
|
|
I'm imagining the humiliation of being frogmarched to an ATM at gunpoint by a mugger, being forced to dance a little jig, *and* to hand over all your money. This is such a terrible idea for so many reasons, I can't help but bun it. |
|
|
I only know how to pogo.(I'll have to remember how many times to jump up and down.) |
|
|
Combine that with the panic pin and you got yourself a deal! |
|
|
What if you hurt yourself on the way to the bank and can't dance? |
|
|
I got dibbs on the Chicken Dance :) |
|
|
[+] Nice one. Plus the bank should give you some bonus cash if you dance real well. In fact the top ten dancers at each ATM could enter a national competition where Simon Cowell slags them off.. |
