BONUS QUESTION: In the book. one of The Mad Hatter's riddles is "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" He never gave an answer; give us your best one. Here are some of our favorites:
A raven is like a writing desk because Edgar Allan Poe wrote on both... and both stand on their legs. -Czaroma Roman
Because Manny Pacquiao can beat both up in a single round. -Tobie Abad
A raven is as black as an ink and a writing desk's purpose is to write with an ink! -Karen Sumortin
In the 1896 edition of the book, Lewis Carroll added this answer in the preface:
"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, though they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!' This, however, is merely an afterthought; the riddle as originally invented, had no answer at all."
