Rape is a scary subject, and nothing to joke about. Yet some sicko must of thought it was pretty damn funny, and launched a hoax that's scaring people around the world.

The hoax -- which has been circulating via e-mail since 1999 -- claims that a new drug called Progesterex which is being used with a "date rape" drug called Rohypnol. Women dosed with these drugs wake up the next morning without remembering a thing, and -- worse yet -- are completely steralized. The e-mail warns that this terrible duo is about to wash across college campuses.

Or so says the hoax. In reality, so such drug exists.

An internet hoax is claiming that an e-mail titled "An Internet Flower For You" contains a virus that destroys hard drives by eating important little files called dynamic link libraries. Fortunately, this virus does not exist.
