The Urban Legends website (always the first port of call when you receive this kind of thing) says it's rubbish.
http://www.snopes.com/toxins/progest.htm
"No drug called Progesterex exists, no pill for permanently sterilizing horses or other Ban me! large animals is used by veterinarians or sold on the market, no campuses have reported any students becoming the victims of sterilization-by-drug, and the URL cited offers no information "telling people how to use" Progesterex. "

I have some...
Not a hoax so much, but I found Snopes a few years back trying to disprove a (quite common in my school) 'fact' that Coke contains crushed beetle or ant or something. Snopes didn't cover it. Tell me (although it's years too late, I still want to know) I'm right, and it is nonsense.
Also, the pharoah's gold plated chariot wheels being found on the bottom of the red sea. I wanted a discussion about it in Snopes. Quite a lot of people believed it in Christian Union (in fact, it was their first bit of 'evidence' to prove God exists). Why are they not in a museum? Why is this 'proof' only commonly found in christian circles? And why is there no discussion on Snopes?
Coke uses colouring E150. Cochineal is (was - I thin it may be no longer used) E120.
As for "pharaoh's chariot wheels", putting that expression into Google brings up a number of articles, the first includes a picture. It is, however, a Christian site so their objectivitity is a little suspect. It seems obvoius that there are plenty of ways in which a chariot or cart or whatever wheel could end up at the bottom of the sea (I believe there were these things called boats that were used to transport things about, and they occasionally sank, for example) without leaping to the rather far-fetched conclusion 'A wheel at the bottom of the sea? It must be Pharaoh's, proving God really did part the Red Sea'...

jodie1404 - the story is not true. The moral of the story is correct though of course. When in nightclubs I always drink things like VK cos they come in a bottle and I can keep my finger over the top. Not so much fear of date rape, just that I've never taken pills in my life and don't fancy starting just because some moron thinks it would be funny to pop a bit in my drink.
We girls (and increasingly the guys) know that we shouldn't head home on our own, and should always text each other to say we're home.
The email is a horror story designed to get it home to people that they need to look after each other when they're out. You have to ask yourself - where were the girl's friends!?! When you're out - are you looking after yours!?!
Happy/safe partying everyone!! :-)
