Thomas Pynchon Character Or Muppet?

Thomas Pynchon's latest, Bleeding Edge, is full of his famously quirky character names. Can you tell the difference between his brilliant literary mind and the imaginative monikers of Jim Henson's muppets?

Pynchon's latest, Bleeding Edge is one part wacky detective story and one part lunatic conspiracy theory. It's cheesy and downright twee at times, while building a convincing paranoia regarding the government, the internet, and our privacy (or lack thereof). And since it's Pynchon, the character names are ludicrous and sprinkled throughout the tome like candy. Take this quiz to see if you can discern the difference between the brain of one Thomas Ruggles Pynchon, Jr. and one James Maury "Jim" Henson.
