In the immortal words of the Mad hatter in the 2010 Alice in wonderland: Why is a Raven like a writing desk?

What do you think?

Lewis Carrol originally meant for this riddle to have no answer. Although in later editions of the same book, he wrote "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!"

Note that 'nevar' is 'raven' spelled backwards.

Because when you think of one, you don't think of the other.

Because of computers, the writing desk is obsolete then to quoth the Raven it will be used nevermore?
