Unbelievable! And diapers too!
Astronaut arrested in alleged kidnap attempt

That's how it goes sometimes, one day you're operating the space shuttle robotic arm 80 miles in orbit, the next you're getting a mugshot looking like a crack ho.

WTF!?!?

During a check of the parking lot, an officer followed Nowak and watched her throw away a bag containing the wig and BB gun. They also found a steel mallet, a 4-inch folding knife, rubber tubing, $600 and garbage bags inside a bag Nowak was carrying when she was arrested, authorities said.
Inside Nowak's vehicle, which was parked at a nearby motel, authorities uncovered a pepper spray package, an unused BB-gun cartridge, latex gloves and e-mails between Shipman and Oefelein. They also found a letter "that indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oefelein," an opened package for a buck knife, Shipman's home address and hand written directions to the address, the arrest affidavit said.

This just in: space travel causes loony behavior of wanting to cut other people in little pieces and **** in own pants.

Probably. There's so much over-the-top drama here that it's just bound to make it somewhere. It's exactly the sort of kitschy story that gets peoples attention, I mean people are all over the news story already, and it hasn't been 24 hours since it broke.

I bet she'd make more money selling book rights to it than being an astronaut

She has obviously had a mental breakdown. I don't really find it funny, nor do I really feel sad for her. She is going to have to face the consequences. At least no one was physically injured, and this happened on the ground instead of 400 miles orbit.

In related news, that is a wicked booking picture. I think the only "good" booking picture I've seen was Tom Delay, although he did get to pick and choose his time to show up (like Michael Jackson).
