Astronaut Lisa Nowak

Wow! It's a sad story really and someones life and career will be forever changed. The news details the diaper, the wig, mallet, BB gun, etc... She's obviously an intelligent woman and people wonder how this could have ever happened.

The charges are piling on: attempted kidnapping, battery, and now attempted murder in the 1st degree. I'm actually surprised that she got bail. I think the murder charge is a little out there and the prosecutors are going to have a tough time on that one. I think the battery and attempted kidnapping will stick, though.

It's interesting because I was trying to explain HOW this could have happened; not that it was right or wrong, several days ago. Is it our primal fear or something innate that our bodies produce certain chemicals that overwhelm the logical being. A little switch that gets flipped and boom out of the ordinary behavior pops out.

If you would ask a person without the stress either imaginary or real, they would say what the heck are you doing? She planned it and had over 900 miles to think about it. So there goes the crime of passion defense.

Have you ever done something really stupid that you would never even think you would have done?
