I was just wondering, about your thoughts on this riddle:
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Is the answer truly, because Edgar Allen Poe wrote on both and can anyone think up of a different, yet equally plausible answer?
Why is a Raven like a Writing Desk? Because they both have quills.
The answer is that it does not have an answer at all. It was just a joke as written by Carrol. The Mad Hatter was indeed mad and made up the riddle. That is why Alice could not answer it.
Folks, over time, have tried to answer with their own thoughts :-)
