The story in the given link explains this.
But it would be practical to think of Rahu as the head, & Ketu as the body for astrological purposes.
Repoducing this part of the story:=The head fell on the other side of Surya. So assume the placement like Chandra, Ketu, Surya and Rahu four of them in a row. So from then onwards Surya had stopped his movement, so that Rahu and Ketu cant join together. All the other planets there after started revolving around Surya. Rahu, Surya and Ketu came into 180 degree placement. Since then Rahu in intention to meet Ketu, is said to have cursed a gurdge against the surya and chandra, and swallows them up which follows an Lunar and Solar Eclipse. When Swarbhanu's head was cut blood dropped on the earth and from that a plant of Garlic & Onion emerged.. Then the Head (Rahu) was taken away by his mother Simhika and nursed for years. The body of the snake was then formed from the neckline of Rahu for transit. The head of snake was formed on Ketu for vision. Rahu worshipped lord Shiva, and Ganpati has the similiar story of his head chopped off and afterwards getting a head of an elephant. Lord shiva blessed Rahu with the body of snake and Ketu with snake head. So by worshipping Ganpati, we can also be blessed by Rahu.

Ahemm...
Rahu and ketu do join! But in doing so, interestingly, they get neutralized

Or, they are a/the Whole actually.
Rather two parts of a Whole.
The story may not be taken literally; also as its internet content.
Its like an afterthought that Jesus was reborn....I would not take this literally/practically.
This probably meant that His aura Lived on very Strongly Permeating....
I am content to know that Rahu is bodiless, & Ketu is headless.
Both has brains, but the using is in different directions.
