Drunk eDialing is marbles

Along the lines of the last post...

You've been there - it's 3:14 AM Saturday night, you've had seven too many Manhattans and you type out a horrific email to the ex-girlfriend, unrequited love, or hated boss. If you're lucky you were so drunk that the email was completely unintelligible. If not you end up on somebody's blog.

Google is here to help you out with Mail Goggles. Short version: this app forces you to do a math quiz if you're sending an email out during your pre-defined danger times. The bad news is that most of the nerds who would install this can probably do complex calc problems while getting their stomach pumped. Still a good idea, though I suppose the next step is to invent a breathalyzer to turn on your computer or exit the screensaver a la the "One For The Road" ignition tester...

it would be sweet if they made mail googles with calc problems. might turn me into an alcoholic though.
