When Reddit user srslytho snapped this photo last week of an abandoned creepy motel in Amboy, California, they had no idea the picture would go viral. It wasn't until they looked at the pictures later that they noticed something very creepy. Can you spot it?

Look closer...

When you zoom in, and look through one of the windows on the right, you can see what looks like blood splatters on the wall of one of the rooms. Srslytho posted the photo to Reddit with this caption:

"I shot an old fenced off motel in the ghost town of Amboy CA. I noticed later that one room looks to have blood spatter on the walls."

People responded to the pic differently. Some had their own creepy tales of the town of Amboy, while others suggested the "blood" was too dark to be real... unless it was fresh. Yikes! Most people just had really good advice for the photographer like:

Apparently, the town of Amboy, CA is basically abandoned, which makes it scary enough on its own. The population is listed as four. Maybe now 3? A few scary movies have been shot in the area, and it was the location of Enrique Iglesias’ video for Hero.

Blood splatter or not, there's nothing scarier than Jennifer Love Hewitt's acting.

Foxboro High School in Massachusetts cut 18-year-old Morgan Truax's yearbook photo because she used an American flag backdrop, her mother said last week on Facebook. According to the mom, the school claimed the position of the flag made it look as if Morgan was standing on it, but the mom says Truax was using the backdrop to show her pride for America. "They won't allow the picture in the yearbook because it's the American flag," mom Lisa Truax said. "We are American! We live in America! OMG what is this country coming to? Please share." Which party here will prove that they love America more by stalwartly defending a piece of cloth?

"The photo showed the United States flag hanging on a wall with the lower portion lying on the floor and the student standing on the flag,” the school said in a statement to Fox 25. “We do not view standing on the U.S. Flag as respectful or appropriate." 

The school also wouldn't accept a cropped version of Morgan's photo for some reason, probably because they're petitioning the government to add her to the No-Fly List. The truth will remain a mystery until the full version of the picture is revealed.

Who is disrespecting the flag? Who is the true patriot? How long can people maintain their interest? Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.

'Tis the season for holiday cheer, but 'tis also the season for something even better: animals in warm-weather gear. Today, that specifically means this video released last week of a Shetland Pony named Daffy in a "foursie," which is an adorable item with a dumb name. A "onesie" isn't called a onesie because it has one leg, guys. A onesie is a onesie because it's one piece of fabric. Here, "foursie" is used to describe what is clearly a onesie for a four-legged animal. Not, as the name would imply, a four-piece outfit like a shirt and three-piece suit. THIS IS NOT A TINY HORSE IN A THREE-PIECE SUIT. But it is a pony named Daffy in a onesie.

Anyway, here's Daffy looking more fly than you ever will at an adult human holiday party:

The video is from a racetrack in the U.K. to promote their upcoming Christmas Racing Weekend on the 18th and 19th of December, because apparently some people don't think "Christmas at the racetrack" is the most depressing-sounding thing.

5. Kris Jenner, because she's being sued over "Proud Mama."

Kris Jenner, revered acknowledged matriarch of the Kardashians and all associated hashtags, has been in the news in the past week for her attempts to copyright the hashtag, phrase and concept of "Proud Mama." As she sees it, it's an indispensable part of her brand, and any other mother in the world expressing pride threatens that.

There's just one problem—she's not the only proud mama out there. In fact, there's a jewelry company called Proud Mama, and they're none too happy with her. Owned by Jenny Present, the company has held the copyright on that name since 2009, when Keeping Up with the Kardashians was just a trendy cable TV reality show and not yet an unstoppable global media juggernaut with its own private military force (Editor's note: that last part was made up).

Jenny Present's lawyer says there's no way his client will give the phrase up to Jenner. This could turn into a massive legal cagematch, with only one mama leaving the ring alive. Of course, Jenner could always just start advertising with a different phrase. Maybe "Unproud Mama." Considering her kids, the public would probably be more on board with that.

4. Colin Quinn, because Tina Fey outed him for calling her the C-word.

In a classic 2007 episode of 30 Rock, a character calls Tina Fey's character Liz Lemon the C-word, sending her into a paroxysm of rage. Now, Fey has revealed that the story behind the scene, and the rage that resulted, were totally real. And the name-caller was none other than well-known Saturday Night Live alum and fellow former Weekend Update anchor: Colin Quinn.

In an interview on today's Howard Stern Show, Fey told Stern that Quinn called her the C-word (you know which C-word) in a baffling voicemail during her time as head writer on SNL. Quinn had left the show at that point, but Fey was attempting to help him with a new show he was working on. As she explained it, his frustration over the script led him to lash out at her:

Despite the explosive incident, the two have since made up. Fey said they reconnected at the SNL 40th anniversary show, and all the C-talk was forgiven. And why would she be mad? 30 Rock ran for seven seasons, and the show Quinn was working on has been totally forgotten.

For Quinn's part, he did issue this statement on Twitter today:

This statement doesn't read as very apologetic, but at least there aren't any C-bombs in it. In fact, there aren't any words in that tweet beginning with "C" at all. He's really learned his lesson.

3. Three teachers who got sick after eating weed brownies left out in the teachers lounge.

It's not surprising to hear that someone somewhere was really stoned at school, although it's noteworthy when it's an elementary school or the people in question are teachers. In this story, both are true.

It all started when a plate of brownies showed up in the teachers' lounge at Spring Mills Elementary School in Highland Township, Michigan. Of course, the teachers didn't think twice about digging in—they needed the sweet release of chocolate to drown out the incessant howling of those little monsters. But the stress of dealing with small children paled in comparison to what they were in for next: a major freak-out on some powerful backed chronic.

As it turns out, the brownies were laced with marijuana, causing the three teachers who ate them to start feeling powerful effects within an hour. One teacher ate several brownies, and was so alarmed by the results that she went to the hospital. Of course, she was fine. If anything, parents should be relieved to hear that she's such a lightweight.

Police so far have been unable to ascertain how the brownies got into the teachers' lounge. Was it a cruel prank, or just an oversight by some faculty member who accidentally brought their "weekend brownies" to work? The parents of Highland Township may never know. Lol. Highland.

2. Chris Hemsworth, because his whale movie flopped onto the beach and died.

Chris Hemsworth may be known to the world as Thor, but there's no way he's feeling like a god today. If he were that powerful, he would never have allowed his new movie In the Heart of the Sea to die such a pitiful death.

The 19th century whaling epic, based on the true story that inspired Moby Dick, promised viewers high seas adventure and a shirtless Hemsworth on a boat, but that still wasn't enough. It brought in a mere $11 million in its opening weekend, compared to its budget of more than $100 million. Now that's a blue whale-sized flop. (Moby Dick was a sperm whale, but this is even bigger. You get the picture.)

Maybe if director Ron Howard had appeared shirtless in the movie, it could have been saved. Or maybe it would have helped not to come out between Hunger Games and Star Wars. Yeah, that's probably it.

1. Kids who tried to steal a package and got a box of poop.

Eric Burdo was tired of constant reports of packages being stolen off doorsteps in his Las Vegas neighborhood. He installed security cameras outside his home to protect himself, but he wanted to test if they were well-positioned. He also wanted to make those sticky-fingered thieves pay, so he came up with a devious plot to make them regret their actions. It involved poop.

He filled a box with a generous helping of dog waste and left it outside his own door as bait. He had to wait four days for the plan to bear fruit (hopefully, the box was airtight), but he got his sweet, pungent revenge in the end.

His cameras caught what look like two teenage boys grabbing the box and running away. One can only imagine their reaction when they opened it up and found a pile of droppings that had been baking in the Nevada sun for four days. Burdo, meanwhile, was delighted when he saw the footage. He told KTNV:

"I was kind of excited and I just kept replaying it. I just kind of wanted to give them back something."

Did that something finally teach those punks to stop stealing? Who knows? Kids are dumb.

Donald J. Trump has released some health records in order to show that he is (physically) healthy enough to fix America's ills. While a 69-year-old man's health records might sound insanely boring, things get interesting when you look deeper—for example, when you look deep enough to discover that the guy who was listed as Trump's doctor was a dead man. At first, Trump tweeted that the report was written Dr. Jacob Bornstein, but deleted that tweet after realizing that Jacob has been dead for since 2010:

So, while Trump might be in perfect physical condition, he either forgot his doctor's name or that his other doctor has been dead for five years. Once he got the name right—the correct doctor was Dr. Harold Bornstein, Dr. Jacob Bornstein's son—Trump linked to the report:

Dr. Bornstein uses Trump-y language that sounds ridiculous coming from a man of science. Highlights include:

Laboratory and test results were astonishingly excellent.

His physical strength and stamina are extraordinary.

His cardiovascular status is excellent.

And the kicker:

If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.

Trump and Dr. Bornstein have a lot in common: they both think that Trump is unequivocally the greatest, have a penchant for hyperbole, and have ridiculous hair. 

Kim Kardashian posted a pic and a blog post about eating her afterbirth after the birth of Saint West. It's no surprise that the author of a book of selfies, creatively titled Selfish, would want to make use of every piece of herself.

The new mother of two wrote on her blog, "I heard so many stories when I was pregnant with North of moms who never ate their placenta with their first baby and then had postpartum depression, but then when they took the pills with their second baby, they did not suffer from depression," said Kardashian. "So I thought, why not try it? What do I have to lose?"

Because she is a Kardashian, she is making the experience of eating the goo that oozed through the vaginal canal as glamorous as possible. Check out that "amazing" label!

Kourtney Kardashian also ate placenta pills (from Kourtney's placenta, not Kim's), calling them "life changing."

If Kim sold those jars to the public, there's no doubt that the afterbirth would make a killing.

The town council of Woodland, North Carolina rejected plans to build a solar farm last Wednesday after hearing concerns from heroic citizens convinced that solar plants are actually a Bond villain-like plot to steal the energy of the sun and give the town cancer. Yup! Said one retired science teacher(!) named Jane Mann, "People come with hidden agendas. Until we can find if anything is going to damage this community, we shouldn’t sign any paper.”

What hidden agenda is Mrs. Mann worried about? Well, according to The Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald:

She [...] is concerned that photosynthesis, which depends upon sunlight, would not happen and would keep the vegetation from growing. She said she has observed areas near solar panels where vegetation is brown and dead because it did not receive enough sunlight.

She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her that solar panels didn’t cause cancer.

“I want to know what’s going to happen,” she said. “I want information. Enough is enough. I don’t see the profit for the town.

Says her husband Bobby,

“You’re killing your town,” he said. “All the young people are going to move out.”

He said the solar farms would suck up all the energy from the sun and businesses would not come to Woodland.

To be clear, most citizens in Woodland probably do not share the unique solar-philosophical worldview of this power couple. Other concerned citizens at the council meeting criticized the solar farm because of fears that the plant would drive down property values—not because of the panels' sun-sucking superpowers. It was likely this property-value issue that led the council to reject Strata Solar System's new plant proposal (several others are in construction in the area)—and put a moratorium on all future solar farms.

However, just in case it wasn't clear to the council at the time: solar farms don't suck up all the energy from the sun. In the words of one of the solar farm's developers, "The panels don’t draw additional sunlight" beyond what hits them directly. Sunlight is kind of like information that way. Jane and Bobby Mann didn't end up like this because someone else sucked up all the understanding-how-sunlight-works...although the kids who learned science in her shade might be in trouble. 

Another day, another nostalgic reunion of a movie or TV show cast. Remember these little stoned cuties from the early-aughts hit That 70s Show?

Obviously, it's been a while since the gang was smoking up in their fictional 'rent's basement. They're all grown up now and still fairly famous! Four of them coupled off and had kids IRL! Laura Prepon and Danny Masterson found love and Scientology, while Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis finally came together after not being able to find anyone with more unusual names. But do any of these folks still hang? YES:

Okay, Topher Grace is missing. Maybe he hasn't aged as well? These guys are adorbs, especially in the shot posted by Wilmer Valderrama, because he understands angles and the value of finding your light:

Commenters who follow Olivia Wilde's Instagram are criticizing the actress (and famous breast-feeder) for posting a photo of her son wearing nothing but a cowboy hat. The photo is obviously not sexualized at all its subject is a baby who, like all babies, enjoys walking around naked. Being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) is a full-time job, you see—and like most people with full-time jobs, SAHMs waste most of their day getting into fights about dumb sh*t on the Internet instead of working. (The assumption is that these people criticizing mothers are mothers themselves, because honestly, who else would waste time caring about other people's babies?)

Here is the completely innocuous photo, which is nothing worse than what you can find on an Anne Geddes calendar:

 

Naked Cowboy.

And here are some of the responses she has gotten:

The data-loving real estate blog Estately has a thing for nifty maps of the United States, like the most famous Kevin from every state, and on Friday they released this massive map of what each state Googled at higher rates than any other state in 2015. A lot of these are topics people in every state are interested in, but the map shows which state was the craziest about that topic in 2015 (there was a previous map published in May 2014 if you want to time-travel). To make it easier to read, here is each region of the map, followed by the whole thing: 

The Northeast:

First of all, it's been a long year. Boko Haram? Brian Williams? Deflategate? These things seem like they happened so long ago and far, far away that they seem about as relevant to life in December 2015 as the Star Wars prequels seem to the new movie.

The Midwest

These aren't necessarily the state's #1 searches. Let's say Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco wasn't Nebraska's most popular search. (She was, but let's just pretend she was actually the #2 search.) If Nebraska was still searching for Kaley Cuoco pics at a much higher rate than any other state in 2015, Nebraska would still be Googling Kaley Cuoco more than anywhere else even if Nebraska's #1 Google was something common. Again, just to be clear: Nebraska Googles Kaley Cuoco a lot.

The West (and Alaska and Hawaii)

Finally, we reach the South. Marriage, guns, and politics were big here, but the real crisis is clear: is Blue Bell ice cream safe to eat again yet?

And here's the whole map. ​

Head over to Estately to also see many more of the most popular Google searches in each state—they have up to 10 of the most popular and unique searches for many of the larger states. Or check out this map of every state's most embarrassing Google popular searches.

When Las Vegas resident Eric Bardo recently moved into a new neighborhood, he heard there was a package-stealing problem. But Bardo is not the sort of man who simply lets such crimes happen—oh, no! He is the sort of man who takes action. Feces-based action. So, Bardo decided to do a little experiment that upgraded him from "homeowner" to "homehero"—he put a put a fake package out front filled with dog poop, left his security camera running, and waited for the package stealers to show up. Which, after four days, they did:

But hey, the joke might be on Bardo. Teenagers are always getting into new trends, and these kids might love dog poop.

Apparently, somebody said something unpleasant to Melanie Griffith. Or about Melanie Griffith. Really, that part is unclear. What is clear is that a person or multiple persons said "mean things" about her. Now, Ms. Griffith has fired back with the celebrity Instagram equivalent of a mic drop: an unfiltered selfie. To be clear, we're talking about an unfiltered selfie, not a makeup-free selfie, because she has a fierce smoky eye going:

 The caption reads: 

Here ya go. Unfiltered. I'm 58. And I'm in Hawaii Five O playing Scott Caan's Mom. Go ahead... Say some more mean things. Merry Christmas

What did someone say to her to set this off? "Melanie Griffith is over-filtered, and there is no way she's playing Scott Caan's Mom in Hawaii Five-O!"? Well, Griffith showed him! Or her! Or them! Whoever said whatever was said. Yeah!

Related: Melanie Griffith starred in the recently re-released craziest movie of all time, in which lions mauled over 70 cast and crew, including Griffith.

Putting yourself out there is hard, especially when you might get rejected. Because you will. Or you'll be rejecting, when there's no chemistry or they were a total nightmare. Below are some of the craziest reactions to being rejected, along with some of the most hilarious ways to reject that have surfaced on the Internet in 2015. May your new year be filled with far more yeses than nos.

1. The guy who wanted his money back.

2. Actually, lots of guys wanted their money back in 2015.

3. The girl who said no with a very compelling word picture.

4. This lady who succumbed to Text Madness.

5. The guy who back-pedaled better than an Olympic cyclist.

6. A lady who knows what she's looking for.

7. The guy who thinks black people think he looks like Ashton Kutcher.

8. An 11-year-old who knows she deserves better than Joey.

9. This woman, who talked herself into being rejected.

10. A guy who turned a "no" into a "yes" with Shakespearean wit.

11. This guy, who got in the last word when his ex came crawling back.

Bonus: The rare case of people who know how to say "let's not" with a little f*cking class:

Monday night, Tina Fey visited her old pal, and former Weekend Update cohost Jimmy Fallon. There, she promoted her new movie Sisters and reminded us why she is remembered for Weekend Update rather than celebrity impressions. Fey is one of the most iconic alumni of Saturday Night Live, having spent nine years on the show, but not because she is particularly good at voices. In her wonderfully charming way, Fey indulged Fallon in a game of "First Impressions" and did her best Sofia Vergara. It's terrifically bad.

Sure, sometimes celebrities wear sunglasses and sweatpants and giant iced coffees just like everyone else. Anyone who's ever opened a tabloid knows this to be an incontrovertible fact (and also knows everything about the personal lives of the famous people within). But sometimes a celeb puts on something so bold (or ugly) that even the most complacent Americans are shaken out of their apathy to go, "Whoa. What are they wearing?" Here are the craziest, weirdest, or just most outrageous celebrity outfits from 2015.

1. Rihanna wore a humongous yellow gown to the Met Gala and inspired many delicious memes.

2. Miley Cyrus wore a skimpy chandelier-esque garment on the VMAs red carpet that made everyone wonder, "How is it possible that I can't see her vagina?"

3. The models in designer Rick Owens's Paris Fashion Week Show wore other models as they infamously 69ed down the runway.

4. Heidi Klum, who takes Halloween seriously in a way that only celebrities have the resources and/or desire to do, transformed herself into Jessica Rabbit.

5. FKA Twigs wore the most subtlepenis dress ever to the Met Gala.

6. Kylie Jenner donned assless chaps for her Interview magazine cover story, and it wasn't even the most controversial photo from the shoot.

7. Selena Gomez became blue-eyed for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, setting impossible expectations for young women with one eyeball color.

8. Lady Gaga wore gardening gloves to the Oscars, possibly as part of an elaborate burn suggesting Birdman was a piece of shit.

9. Will.i.am utilized the Academy Awards as a rare opportunity to publicly pay homage to the Hamburglar.

10. Kim Kardashian, who usually has amazing pregnancy style, went to the VMAs wearing a shoelace.

11. Singer Z LaLa went full octopus for the AMAs—not like she wore a flowy gown with a nod toward the sea; she straight up dressed as an octopus.

12. Justin Bieber showed up at the AMAs in a Nirvana t-shirt and caused a lot of fans to lose their minds, but you know Kurt Cobain's chill ghost DGAF.
