Brigham & Clark: Two Super Men
Big News
Roger Clemens is coming out of retirement again, agreeing to a $22 million contract to pitch for the Houston Astros for the rest of 2006. This means Clemens will earn the average American annual wage every time he scratches himself.

- Brigham was a great religious leader, but with 27 wives he was best known as the guy with the tin cans tied to the rear of his donkey.
- Brigham was the first man to get a fleet discount on marriage licenses.
Superman was born on June 1st in 1938. So was Clark Kent. They were born in the first issue of Action Comics. But don't worry about them just because they're getting older. Since they're both Canadian, they have a good healthcare plan.
