Talk about serendipity! - in the article "Web Won't Let Government Hide" it references some obscure information found using Google's government search - including "NASA's Microgravity Man Comic book". I was the illustrator of that comic when I was a junior in high school - I can't believe the link is even still there or that of all the things they found on the government web that is what they considered most obscure.
Thank you RAIN for making my day!
