In this age of technology, drunk dialing seems quaint. Remember when you could just call a friend and tell him/her "HI I LOVE YOU OH MY GOD!"? Ah, those were the days. Now we have to make sure our phones and our computers are safe. It's too much to have to remember when we're imagining we're pirates and throwing up over the starboard bow.
Fortunately, Google's there for us. Like a good friend who'll hold our hair back and tell us to stop crying and get in bed, Google has invented Mail Goggles:
"When enabled, Mail Goggles kicks in at the time you specify (default is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday), and throws five math problems up on the screen when you press "send." You have a limited period of time to solve them. If you can answer the questions, presumably you're of mind sound enough to tell off your boss, or pour your heart out to your ex-lover.
If you can solve simple math problems even when under the table, there's an option to ramp up the difficulty of the questions, but sadly they remain in the arithmetic realm and don't drift into interesting algebra or calculus."
I love the "sadly they remain in the artihmetic realm and don't drift into interesting algebra or calculus." If you're the kind of person who's looking to calculus for a good time, you might not need Mail Goggles.
Thanks for another great idea, Google! I bet this one came up while some employee had a massage/played with their puppy/did their laundry at work.
Yeah.

I already tested this. The math is not hard enough. I was given 5 problems to solve in a minute, was distracted at work, and managed to do them all in less than 30 seconds still.
They need an option for super dorks who can even do math while drunk.
