why is a raven like a writing desk?

the age old question...

They both have quills?

Theyre both made of wood...
Ravens have a roll-top facility.
The wingspan of the average raven is large enough to fit two fullscap sheets of A4 paper on to.
Ravens often fly fully stocked with a wide variety of pencils and pens, all stored in a pencil case tucked neatly inside the beak.
JK Rowling used a Corvus Cornix (hooded crow) as a desk to write Harry Potter.
Stan Lee used Corvus Corax as a drawing board for the first episodes of Spiderman.. (but not Hulk.. he used Sturnus Vulgaris for that.)

Poe wrote on both of them.

They both look terrible when you spill ink on them.

Flocks of writing desks (commonly known as a "scribble" of desks) are known to haunt church eaves and lonely dark woods, isolated moors, and blasted heaths, waiting in great numbers. If disturbed (usually by a dramatiis personae, or the lonely hoot of the deus ex machina, or occasionally by a stirring view) they will rise up in great clouds and swoop about, taking notes.
