      A separable metric space \(X\) is called rigid if the identity \(1_ x\) is the only autohomeomorphism, and homogeneous if, for any points \(x\), \(y\) of \(X\), there is an (onto) homeomorphism \(h: X\to X\) such that \(h(x)=y\). In this note, it is shown that this onto-ness of the homeomorphism \(h\) could not be removed in the definition of homogeneity, by constructing a continuum \(X\) which is rigid and has many embeddings, that is, for any two points \(x\), \(y\), there is an embedding (= into-homeomorphism) \(h: X\to X\) such that \(h(x)=y\).
