The number of deer has increased up to about 700,000 in Hokkaido, Japan, which causes problems such as car accidents and deforestation. About 100,000 deer are hunted every year, but that's not enough to stop them from increasing too many. There are many good restaurants serving deer meat dishes here. Let's eat more!

Did you know that ice hockey goalkeepers have no longer worn the iconic mask of Jason in the Friday the 13th series? Last week I went to see an ice hockey match for the first time.

I know we have received a lot of benefit from innovation mostly made by courageous or reckless decision-makers, but sometimes I can't help feeling that the value of being the first penguin is overestimated because of its high-risk nature. Think about it for a second: Nobody knows if such innovations can make the world richer. I think it may be better to leave it to some weirdos like Elon Musk.
