Hundreds of hand-drawn turkeys! As teaching assistant for a large (700+) class at upenn.edu, I was put in charge of photocopying the midterm. I added "Draw a turkey" to the last page; here are the results. Gobble, gobble!

700 (or rather 125) Hoboes, semantically tagged. We intended, at the outset, to generate a complete semantic breakdown of every one of the 700 Hoboes, but time and life caught up. Thus, we’re open-sourcing this project, in the worst sense of the concept - we give up, and hope someone else will take up the reins. With a semantic analysis of each hobo name, one could then extract a subset of the (unmanagable) 700 hoboes according to one’s whim - say, just the ones missing a body part, ones possessing a special talent, ones with poor hygiene (not to say that’s not all of them, but we’re just going by the names).
