Mail Goggles! What a good idea: After you lost your cellphone somewhere in LES earlier in the evening and now it's three am, it seems like a good time to email your boss and tell him that you "wdnt be cumming into work tomtoday…ish sick."
Now the guys over at Google are going to step in and save your job and also tons of future embarrassments by making you solve math questions to determine your sobriety before sending any late night emails:
Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called Mail Goggles which may help.
When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?
First off: the name definitely should have been "Google Goggles" since that is just really fun to say. Secondly: What if you just really suck at math? Or if you are too drunk to send emails, but sober enough to remember to go into preferences and turn off the application?
Sorry Gmail, this is more polite party chit-chat fodder than an actual workable tool. Call us when you enable a Scrabulous function.

Wowee-Zowee! I can just say this would've definitely helped me out on more than one occassion over the years. Particularly with the late night emails to certain lady friends. Fortunately, I've seen the errors of my ways and have cut out the drinking over the past several months. I wonder if myspace will come out w/something similar?!??
I'm willing to bet that most people that do drunk emails probably couldn't answer these questions sober. Just saying.
HAHAHAHAHA! This is seriously hilarious. LMFAO
I think Myspace needs this. I know I skip the phone and go straight for myspace. I've walked into work a day later and people have quoted my post I made on there. It's embarassing and sad. If not only for postings but for requesting people. I have drunkenly added like 15 people I went to middle school. Yeah thank god you can delete your request, but there's no telling they didn't see it.
