What the heck is that all about?
 
Tried sending email at approximately 10:45pm last night night and kept receiving the following; 
 
Mail Goggles
It's that time of day. Gmail aims to help you in many ways. Are you sure you want to send this? Answer some simple math problems to verify.

19 + 18  = 
1 x 9  = 
48 - 22  = 
89 - 15  = 
7 x 6  = 
35 seconds

You have the Mail Goggles Lab enabled.  It's a (stupid in my opinion) lab that prompts you with math problems late at night so that if you've been partying and are (very) drunk, you would not be able to solve them and not send any email you may later regret sending.

You apparently enabled it in Gmail Labs. It is only there if you
chose to have it. Just go into Gmail Labs again and turn it off.

I think it's bloody brilliant. I wasn't aware that such an item existed. Now I only need that for Ebay, Yahoo Answers, and some kind of call blocking app on my phone for The Shopping Network.

Ha ha, you're right!  I enabled that "thing" thinking it was a calculator.  
 
Thanks all!

This blog post by Google indicates it was retired along with several other labs: http://goo.gl/ZdYWd

Is this feature still available?  I can't seem to find it in the labs.

I used Mail Goggles religiously. If anyone out there used Goggles too, you might interested in a Chrome extension for Gmail I built called Send Keeper. It helps increase your email efficiency. It's free :) Please check it out! www.sendkeeper.com
