Java N-Tuple implementation

I just made a Java n-tuple which is type-safe.
I'm using some unconventional methods to achieve type-safety (I just made it for fun).

Can someone can give some input on improving it or some possible flaws.

public class Tuple {
    private Object[] arr;
    private int size;
    private static boolean TypeLock = false;
    private static Object[] lastTuple = {1,1,1}; //default tuple type

    private Tuple(Object ... c) {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        size=c.length;
        arr=c;
        if(TypeLock)
        {
            if(c.length == lastTuple.length)
                for(int i = 0; i<c.length; i++)
                {
                    if(c[i].getClass() == lastTuple[i].getClass())
                        continue;
                    else
                        throw new RuntimeException("Type Locked");
                }
            else
                throw new RuntimeException("Type Locked");
        }

        lastTuple = this.arr;
    }

    public static void setTypeLock(boolean typeLock) {
        TypeLock = typeLock;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if (this == obj)
            return true;

        Tuple p = (Tuple)obj;

        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
        {
            if (p.arr[i].getClass() == this.arr[i].getClass())
            {
                if (!this.arr[i].equals(p.arr[i]))
                    return false;
            }
            else
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        int res = 17;
        for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
            res = res*37+arr[i].hashCode();

        return res;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return Arrays.toString(arr);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HashMap<Tuple,String> birthDay = new HashMap<Tuple,String>();
        Tuple p = new Tuple(1,2,1986);
        Tuple.setTypeLock(true);
        Tuple p2 = new Tuple(2,10,2009);
        Tuple p3 = new Tuple(1,2,2010);
        Tuple p4 = new Tuple(1,2,2010);
        birthDay.put(p,"Kevin");
        birthDay.put(p2,"Smith");
        birthDay.put(p3,"Sam");
        birthDay.put(p4, "Jack");
        System.out.println(birthDay);
        System.out.println(birthDay.get(new Tuple(1,2,1986)));
        birthDay.put(new Tuple(1,2,""),"");
    }
}

public class Tuple<A> {

  private final A[] elements;

  public static <A> Tuple<A> of(A ... elements) {
    return new Tuple<A>(elements);
  }

  public Tuple(A ... elements) {
    this.elements = elements;
  }

  public A get(int index) {
    return elements[index];
  }

  public int size() {
    return elements.length;
  }

  public boolean equals(Object o) {
    if (this == o) {
      return true;
    }

    if (o == null || o.getClass() != this.getClass()) {
      return false;
    }

    Tuple<A> o2 = (Tuple<A>) o;
    return Arrays.equals(elements, o2.elements);
  }

  @Override
  public int hashCode() {
    return Arrays.hashCode(elements);
  }

  @Override
  public String toString() {
    return Arrays.toString(elements);
  }
}
