More You Can't Make This Stuff Up...
You can go along for weeks, watching the news like a hawk, devouring every word. You see death, destruction, blasted lives, people who foul themselves up. You'll even see stories similar to THIS from time to time.

ORLANDO, Fla. — 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 as her lawyer sparred with prosecutors to effort her release. Lisa Marie Nowak was ordered released on $10,000 bail and told to wear an ankle tracking device.

Now, granted that the Astronauts are screened pretty heavily to be capable, stable people. Still, sooner or later, you're going to get one that runs right off the rails. But this next part would make you sit up and take notice, even if it was Jane Doe from Kokomo:

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. Astronauts wear diapers during launch and re-entry. |
Now THAT, my friends, puts this one firmly in the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" category.
Sheesh.....
