14. Paul Giamatti Hones Earthquake-Predicting Technology, Constantly Surprised By Earthquakes
The reason why Paul Giamatti and Goner go to the Hoover Dam in the first place is to test their earthquake predicting technology. The test is a success and both men are giddy with joy when they discover that their system works and they can now success predict whenever an earthquake will occur. Then an earthquake occurs and surprises them. Back at the office, even though his partner has just died, Giamatti decides to go on TV to announce the new breakthrough. Just as he is about to announce that science can now successfully predict earthquakes, he is surprised by news of another earthquake. He is a bad scientist.
