Abraham Lincoln’s Portrait. The photo shown above is arguably the most iconic image believed to portray the former U.S. leader. The photograph actually contains two images i.e. the head of Lincoln and the body of John Caldwell Calhoun, the seventh Vice President of the United States. Source says Lincoln had not had any iconic photographs taken by the time this image was perfected. 1 Like 2 Shares

The “tree that ate a bicycle.” Report that went viral on facebook was that, the owner of the bicycle abandoned it against the tree when he went for war in late 1940’s, and died a hero – nature starts to consume the bicycle. This photo is real, not photoshoped. It’s now a popular tourist attraction on Vashon Island, in Puget Sound, Washington State. But, the fact has since shown that the bicycle belonged to Don Puz, who in 1954 left his bicycle in the woods, and forgot about it. The most interesting thing is that, Don never went to war. We went down there in the woods, and there was this bike in the tree, and I said, ‘That’s my bike,'” recalls Don, after the bike was discovered, making headlines. I recognized it immediately. When I saw that bike, I recognized it, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen another one like it. 1 Like 2 Shares

Fetus Foot. This weird picture has fooled millions of people, since it started spreading like wildfire on social media. The footprint on this picture is completely fake, because, there is no way a fetus foot could show through the muscles, uterus and fat like this. 1 Like 2 Shares

Syrian Orphan sleeping between his parent’s grave. Shortly after the completion of the conceptual art project by Abdel Aziz Al-Atibi, a 24-year-old Saudi Arabian photographer, on January 3, 2014; the above staged shot went viral with the above caption – misleading people into believing it showed a child whose family had been killed during the conflict in Syria. The problem regarding the picture is that, it was not taken in Syria, and that the piles of stones were just made to look like grave. More also, the little boy did not lose his parents at all. The art project was meant to show how a child’s love for his parents is eternal. To also help talk about the suffering that is happening in society. Some kids might feel that their dead parents’ bodies are more affectionate to them than the people they’re living with, Al-Otaibi told beirut. Look, it’s not true at all that my picture has anything to do with Syria. I am really shocked how people have twisted my picture, added Al-Otaibi, who debunked the fake news. 1 Like 1 Share
