EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's already been answered but nobody acknowledged it. My guess: because ravens and desks don't write. that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hmm. . . found this: "Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter's Riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz: 'Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!' This, however, is merely an afterthought; the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all." http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1173/why-is-a-raven-like-a-writing-desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Because a raven and a writing desk can't tell you they love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Screw you Emma! This is the universally accepted answer: It has no answer. :escaping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 well then i've been told a made up answer by many people. Fuck them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Technically the answer many people have told you is true, just like the answer that "They can't tell you what time it is" is also true. Lewis Carroll created a riddle that he didn't have an answer for, so there is no answer, and anything can be that answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
