Houston...We Have a Problem...

This is a made for TV movie just waiting to happen.

A NASA astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a romantic rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections was charged with attempted first-degree murder Tuesday and will remain jailed.

Ok, this chick alledgedly drove 900 miles from Houston to Florida to kill this other chick.
I'm not really even concerned that this married mother hopped in her car and drove 900 miles to do bodily harm to someone else.
I'm not really even concerned that she had steel mallots, knives, rubber tubing, pepper spray, a BB gun and garbage bags.
What I'm truly concerned about is this:

Nowak raced from Houston to Orlando wearing diapers in the car so she wouldn't have to stop to go to the bathroom, authorities said.

The fact that she was ok with pissing herself for 900 miles, leads me to believe that this is one crazy bitch.

Astronauts are used to that.

They wear diapers on launches, too, IIRC.

"Houston, we have a problem...I've just crapped my pants."

Yeah, I'm aware of that Adam.
But when it becomes ok to piss yourself on a long road trip to kill some chick, THAT is insanity.

Lon: LMAO!!!!

That was the detail that stood out for me, too - which is so hilarious when you think of all of the OTHER crazy going on in this story. But immediately when I read it I thought: She is driving and pissing at the same time.

Woah.

900 miles- I thought i read/saw an SUV lets give her 25 miles per gallon. No car has a 36 gallon tank, she had to stop for gas anyway. Unless the rubber hose was to siphon gas from passing cars as she drove. Yeah I know..

Now now, let's not be overly critical. I'm sure if we're all honest, we'd each admit to having worn Depends to make those cross-country road trips a little more streamlined.

Hell, I wear mine around the house on weekends, just because I'm a lazy slob.
