It's the diaper that boldly goes where no incontinence product has gone before.

The sordid saga of a love-struck, diaper-clad astronaut has transformed a somewhat obscure NASA undergarment
into a cultural phenomenon.

Comedians and bloggers can't get enough of the topic.

"We will not be stopping for commercials tonight ... because I am wearing a diaper," Jay Leno joked Thursday.

And David Letterman told his audience that when police nabbed astronaut Lisa Nowak in Florida, "she was wearing
a wig and an adult diaper - and there was a lot of confusion because authorities originally thought she was
Elton John."
