Google Mail Goggles

This has been out for a little while, but I just ran across it. Its a new Gmail feature that requires you to solve a series of math problems before it allows you to send an email. By default it is active only on weekend nights, but you can change the settings to cover other times as well. I'm hoping someone here will write the corresponding program to cover texting.

Here's the link if your interested:

Seems cool but what is the point to having something like this????
Edit: Nevermind i just read about it lol. I am never that ****ed up to be sending text messages or e-mails that i would later regret.

is it really that hard to basic math when you're drunk? I mean, you gotta be pretty smashed not be able to do those problems

Heck, a lot of folks have trouble reciting the alphabet when they're tanked, which is why it's part of the FST's that cops use for DUI investigations
