You're putting me on !!!
Luke Did you feel that earthquake yesterday ?
Perry Yes, it scared the living daylights out of me. It was quite a big jolt.
Luke I've heard a lot about a connection between atmospheric pressure and earthquake predictions.
Perry Many scientists dismiss that theory, but there may be a grain of truth to it.
Luke Well, this time we were only 30 km from the epicenter. There's a rumor going around that a big one will hit this Friday at 1:00 p.m.
Perry Well, I personally believe you can't pinpoint the exact time and place of an earthquake. But did you know that there have been some instances where animals were bale to detect subtle indicators of coming earthquakes ? Oddly enough, my dog, Prince, always howls before earthquake.
Luke You're putting me on.
Perry No, really. Prince is my private seismologist.
