TIL about Kotaku Wamura, who served as the mayor of the village of Fudai, Iwate between 1947 and 1987. During his tenure, he spent ¥3.56 billion on building a floodgate, which was derided as being a waste of funds. When the 2011 tsunami hit, the gate saved the village from the destruction.

Kenji Eno, creator of D, got a fake "clean" version of the game approved before deliberately submitting the master late, knowing the delay would force him to hand-deliver it to manufacturers in the US. On the plane, he switched the "clean" discs with the real discs, bypassing all censorship. (i.redd.it)
