Gmail Goggles prevents sending mail when you are drunk!

The Gmail guys are getting wittier each day. This time they have introduced another feature to Gmail Labs which they call Mail Goggles. When turned on Mail Goggles can prevent you from sending that embrassing email you wrote when you were in a drunken stupor! How? The answer is captcha. But this one isn't so simple as typing words in an image; Mail Google forces you to think by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you are really sober when you wrote that.

Now obviously, it would be really annoying if you have to do math every time you want to send a mail. So Mail Goggles, by default, is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you're most likely to get drunk and make a mistake.

If you are in the habit of hitting the bar on weekdays as well, then you can customize the settings according to your drinking habits. You can also adjust a difficulty scale, ranging from 1 to 5, depending on how tough a math problem you can take. I guess on scale 5 you will probably be given a differential equation to solve. :^)
