I know what you're thinking but trust me, this absolutely shreds.
Last Friday, I warned you to not fall prey to the internet hoax that was spreading like wildfire on Facebook that involved a man by the name of Nolan Daniels who claimed that he had won the record-setting Powerball jackpot and was going to award $1 million to a random person for simply sharing his Facebook photo of him holding the "winning" ticket.

Before Sunday's Seahawks game versus the Jets, the crowd at CenturyLink Field took part in the 'Salute to Veterans.'
I was lucky enough to be present for all of the pregame ceremonies which included the flipping over of 52,200 colored cards to display the message "Thank You Veterans."
It sent chills down my back, but it got even better...
General David Petraeus, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, resigned today, citing a recent extramarital affair. President Obama, elected to a second term just days earlier, accepted Petraeus’s resignation and praised his leadership and service to his country.
