The instructions, should you choose to play along, are simple:
Obtain (preferably through legal means) a copy of John Hodgman’s new book More Information Than You Require.
Find and consider the list of 700 Mole-Men and their occupations.
Create an image depicting one (or more) of the Mole-Men.
Post it to flickr and add it to this group.
