They say that rumours are just like a jar full of moths. Once they come out they are all over the place.It may be partially because rumours are surprising, funny, or shocking, and the teller wishes to entertain the listeners.There are some people who tend to believe in them without actually trying to find out the real truth behind it. People would easily believe in what they hear or in some case see and react so intently that they close their eyes and ears to the truth.
A recent case of a rumour that spread across the city like wild-fire on a windy day makes for an interesting reading.
The messages that come with this picture showing a three-headed snake on Indian roads claim that the picture is a real one, and it is the beautiful creation of nature. The story, however, is a hoax. The three-headed snake picture is not real, it is a manipulated one
The original picture is only a single-headed snake found on the roadside somewhere in India, which some prankster might have photoshopped to make it look like a real three headed snake and started spreading it.
Certain animals, including snakes, are sometimes born with more than one head. This is a rare phenomenon called Polycephaly. But the picture in the message is definitely not a case of Polycephaly.
