The diapered Astronut
Uhhh...I got a question.

Why the hell didn't she just tell the investigators and/or police that the diapers were for a private health issue, and leave it at that?

I guess she wasn't thinking clearly.
Wow.
:think: :crazy:

I made it a point to ignore the astronut story, but I keep hearing about the damn diapers. Csn someone please explain to me what the deal is with the diapers? (I know I could gggggooooooggggglllleeee it or even read it at CNN, but I know you guys will give me the straight scoop, probably laced with some great sardonic humor.)

5. Same here.
I ignored the story assuming it was a romantic triangle. I keep hearing from people that it is quite bizarre.

13. Although, as one of the late night comics mentioned...
...how many cars can go 900 miles without a pit stop???

8. From what I've heard....
Astronauts often wear these types of "diapers" during take off an landing. Makes perfect sense really...Think about it...when you pulling that many G's something is bound to get pushed out!:evilgrin:

7. I wonder how she was able to drive for 900 miles without stopping for gas
at least once! There's a major hole in the story there.

12. She had to stop for gas. She just didn't want to take the extra time...
to use the restroom. Pump and go. Is Corporate Media reporting that she did not stop for gas?
