Pleasantly enough, something called The Independent, over in da UK, linked me, Michael Cossarwal, as a one of a breed of prime examples of vidblogging. It makes me want to start vidblogging again. Perhaps I will. How fun!

The Identity of E.P. Sanders Unveiled!
I would just like to point out (because I have not noticed anyone else pointing this out) that E.P. Sanders, one of the big-time mucky-mucks in the New Perspective fandango, is actually Winnie the Pooh. I am surprised that this does not seem to be a more widely known piece of information (as it might inform one's opinion of his work - and of course, works based upon his work). My evidence, you ask? Simple, really.
- Our little Pooh-Bear goes, occasionally by the name, Edward Bear and P. Bear.
- "Bear" seems to be, here, more a descriptor of species than anything.
- So, it does not seem presumptuous to guess that Pooh's first name and middle initial are "Edward P."
- And it remains, from this evidence on its own, unknown as to the bear's last name.
- The name upon Pooh's house is Sanders.
- Generally, when a name appears on the front of one's house, it is one's own (and likely last) name.
- So, it is quite likely that Pooh's last name is "Sanders."
- Therefore, Winnie the Pooh is an alias for Edward P. Sanders - who obviously publishes under the name, E.P. Sanders.
- Et voila!
