What We've Found: Phils, public masturbation, more flash mobs, democracy, etc.

Christine Adkins with your morning fix:

Florida State gave the Phillies a run for their money in their exhibition game. The Phils, down 5-0 at one point, came around at the end to win 13-6.

Keep a good eye on your homes, because if you see the foundation shifting your floors and walls itÂ’s too late. Because of extreme weather patterns lately, many homes in coastal and Southern states are breaking away from their foundations. The cost to repair: anywhere from $1000 to $35000.

We should be proud parents, since our democratic baby, Iraq, is holding elections for Parliament. The downside? Candidate number 15 on the Iraqi National Alliance slate, Hakim al-Zamili, is accused of running death squads.

ItÂ’s not only frowned upon, itÂ’s also a misdemeanor. A Delaware County man was arrested when his plane touched down in Denver for masturbating next to his female seatmate, whom he didnÂ’t know. For the record: If you do it by yourself, you have not joined the Mile High Club.

The catastrophic wave of earthquakes continues in Taiwan, which recorded a 6.4 magnitude quake on Thursday. So far, no one has been reported killed.

More than 20 teens were arrested after another flash mob disturbed Center City. The mob, which involved more than 200 people at one point, started between two groups of teens on Market and Chestnut streets. Related: Let's sue the Internet.
