Drunken Emails, or: Tnia Yuo Aer A Fkcunig Btich, I Htae Oyu

Scenario 1: It's 2:45 on Saturday night and you have just returned from a night of drunken debauchery at the bars and you feel like penning an email to your ex-lover pleading for just "one more chance" or sending a lusty email to that really hot girl you exchanged notes with once in Astronomy class, only to completely regret it in the morning.


Well the creative masterminds at Google have created a new service for those of you who have a habit of sending embarrassing emails when drunk and at the keyboard...Mail Goggles. Mail Goggles is a new Google Labs feature in order to prevent these late night e-booty calls and emotional rants. When activated, Mail Goggles requires you to answer a few relatively simple math problems after hitting the "send" button just to make sure that you are in the correct state of mind and conscious of what just exactly you are about to do...


After being activated, you can set Mail Goggles to be active whenever you want it to be, so if you are one of those Tuesday afternoon drinkers, you are in luck!



Scenario 2: It's 2:45 Saturday night and you just got home from the bars.  You sit down at your computer to hash out the greatest love story and email it to your ex.  You hit send and then all of a sudden, "What is all this math?  All I want to do is express my inner beauty.  Ok, 86-32 equals...shit.  Oh well, where did I put that pizza...?"
