Police say astronaut Lisa Nowak drove 900 miles wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to go to bathroom before confronting suspected romantic rival. now that's really sick.
This incident could be the subject of an interesting study: the effect of space travel on latent psychoses.

Yeah, things have changed so much!
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 : Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric

She was smart enough to wear a disguise, bring knife, rope, pepper spray, fake rifle, rubber hose, and wear diapers to avoid stops so she wouldn't be recognized on the way.
She's smart enough to say she didn't intend to harm the other woman. It's pretty clear she intended to kill her.

Police said Capt Nowak drove 1,000 miles (1,600km) from her home in Houston to Orlando International Airport, wearing a nappy to avoid a toilet break. I want to know how she avoided a refueling break.

A woman who is used to getting what she wants with an ego that needed feeding.
She was obviously obsessed with getting what she wanted. What I found interesting is that she categorized it as "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship".
That is the description of a friendship, not a love affair. Sounds like a fatal attraction to me. Scary woman.
