Is this real?

Sometimes I feel like I am living in a fantasy world or that all the world around me is being scripted to see how bizarre things can get before I start questioning them. This story about that NASA astronaut, Lisa Nowak, and her bizarre love triangle murder attempt is pushing the brink of sanity.

She is married with three children but still found the urge to drive 900 miles to attempt to murder another women who she thought was her romantic rival for a male astronaut. Her obsession with him led her to drive 900 miles from Houston to Orlando, bringing with her a trenchcoat and wig, armed with a BB gun, pepper spray, a new steel mallet, knife, rubber tubing and wearing a diaper to avoid bathroom breaks on the arduous drive. Wait, wait!! She had a wig, a BB gun, pepper spray, a new steel mallet, knife, rubber tubing, and was wearing a diaper. And a new steel mallet, meaning she went out and bought these items, didn't just grab some stuff lying around her house. Okay, this must be made up. Not only is this woman so crazy to think someone was a romantic rival for a man that was not her husband and drove 900 miles over this, she was wearing a diaper. You wonder why NASA is going bankrupt, they have people like this running their spaceships. This makes what happened a few years back when they forgot to change their calculations into metric and then their satellite miss its target look perfectly fine.

NASA released this statement: “We try not to concern ourselves with our employees’ personal lives.” What?? If my employees are psychotic and traveling across the country wearing a diaper trying to kill someone, I will concern myself with them. This whole story just seems like at any moment someone is going to come out and say "fooled you," and the whole thing has been made up, because there is no way this real. I guess Darwin was wrong. After all these years of humankind this kind of stupidity should have been worked out of the gene pool years ago.
