Science has never been the strong suit of the New York Post...

...or for any right wing publication for that matter. This though, wow, it really takes the cake. You may have seen the social media going crazy over the stupid SyFy movie Sharknado last week. The premise, should you not understand it from the title, says that sharks of huge size could be picked up in a tornado and flown about the city killing people. The Post gets partial credit anyway for pointing out a Sharknado would be darned near impossible. However, they insist THEIR idea of a Sharkicane is completely plausible:

If a raging hurricane were to strike New York City, it could suck up sharks and other sea creatures — triggering a Sharkicane, a horrifying real-life twist on the campy hit flick “Sharknado,” marine biologists warn.

Well of course that's NOT what marine biologists (other than marine biologist George Costanza) said that's just what the Post wanted to hear.

The full story and the full stupidity of the NY Post can be found here.
