Why is...

[Jedamethis]

...a raven like a writing desk?

A bit of explanation, as I got a warning for 'What If'...

I just found this in the Google autocomplete box, looking for something else, and wondered what on earth it was about. So I read a bit, and decided to ask what you guys think, or were told.

I don't particularly want "There is no answer" or "I think it's about humanity's need for there to be an answer to everything", I want to hear the funniest answer that can be thought up!

Funny you should mention that, as I was watching Alice in Wonderland last night. Don't remember it being answered though so I don't know why a raven is like a writing desk.

Poe used them a lot and as we all know Burton is just about as crazy as Poe but not as good a writer.

Many cultures have mythology that says that they weren't covered in black at some point.
