[-1] Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. proposes rechristening Robin Hood Dell East, named for the Hood family of civil-rights activists, after another civil-rights activist, Georgie Woods. Uh, dude. That one's taken. Why don't you take your fight to The Mann?
[+1] The Philadelphia Wings replace players' names on their jerseys with their Twitter handles for one game. Then it's back to their Friendster URLs.
[+1] Philly-based coffee company La Colombe teams up with Leonardo DiCaprio to create a blend to benefit the actor's environmental charity. It's got an agreeable taste, a pleasant body and some really ridiculous accents. Available in small, medium and really small. Also, J. Edgar sucked.
[+1] Temple University holds an exhibition of designs for glass films they hope will reduce the number of birds that die flying into the glass facades of campus buildings. At the end, they push-broomed the bird corpses into piles and determined a winner.
[+2] Protesters from Occupy Philly join a rally outside Comcast headquarters to demand Al-Jazeera English be added to their service. We agree and all, but you gotta admit: This is a weird protest, even for you.
[-4] A handcuffed man escapes from police custody and is still on the loose at press time. He was last seen leading an Occupy protest against that thing where On Demand doesn't let you fast-forward.
[0] An opinion survey conducted by Pew Charitable Trusts rates Mayor Nutter highly except in crime fighting and prevention. Notes from the next Pew board meeting: "Guys, are we too charitable?"
[-3] A man identified by name and by photo on wanted posters as the handcuffed fugitive comes forward to inform police it wasn't him. "We're awfully sorry about the mix-up, Mr. Kenobi."
[+2] The city rounds up 22 fugitives wanted on domestic-abuse and child-support charges in their annual Valentine's Day raid. If you survived the day, enjoy another year of freedom, angry deadbeats!
