Shipman stayed on active duty after drove hundreds of miles in astronaut diapers to commit an act of violence, if not murder? Talk about low standards in the Navy!!

Maybe NASA asked the Navy to test various models of astronaut diapers and they have Shipman doing the deed? ;-)

LOL. It was Nowak who drove for hundreds of miles in diapers and tried to mace Shipman. Shipman is the one who allegedly was assaulted.

We name collectors only heard Kepler Funk. That's a good one.

Please read the article again? Here, I'll help you....The attorney, Kepler Funk(a male) represents Ms. Shipman, who is newly engaged to Mr. Oefelein. Ms. Nowak, on the other hand, will be heading to trial, alas, she will not be receiving an engagement ring, but possibly a jail cell. Hope this has been of help to you? ;=)

Too bad the article did not word it the way you did. here it is and it implies that Kepler is a "she" and is now engaged to the guy. Syntax is a very tricky thing, eh? But thanks for the clarification.


"Kepler Funk, a Melbourne attorney who represents Colleen Shipman, said Friday that she and former space shuttle pilot Bill Oefelein have gotten engaged. The couple, who now live in Alaska, have not set a date."

One could take this to read that Kepler is a girl who is now engaged and just happens to represent Shipman...eh?

Ms. Shipman gets the astronaut Bill Oefelein. Nowak goes to jail and the lawyer Keplar Funk gets paid. I think.

Shipman and Nowak still have each other. If they so choose.

This is silly. Of note is that neither Shipman or Nowak ended up with the guy--the attorney did--how sick is that? LOL

I have to hand it to you. It is rare that someone who makes a mistake in reading something admits it and thanks the person who corrects it. You get my vote for most sincere commenter today.

I agree 100% with your opinion of toldyouso29's comment, margieboy!

The article was poorly written.
