Paging starts with 265, as if the text were a continuation of a previous volume.
An introduction -- The Presidents of the United States: are they the new hoboes? -- The future and other superstitions -- Advice, how-to, and miscellaneous -- Gambling: the sport of the asthmatic man -- How to be famous -- The hidden world (not including mole-men) -- Even more more information than you require, with a special emphasis on food and animals (a kind of food) -- The mole-men: are they the new hoboes? -- Some lists I confess to compiling -- All of your questions answers, or at least five more -- An outroduction -- Table of tables -- Table of figures.
Fun facts, bizarre trivia, and oddball photos are crammed into every corner of the page. Hodgman devotes considerable attention to mole-men, the "race of humanoids who live in the complex warren of tunnels and vast caverns beneath the earth." Did you know, for instance, that Thomas Jefferson uncovered on his "mole-manic palace known as Monticello" a "small group (or 'Parlor') of mole-men dining on weevil pie and discussing world affairs"?
