Date: 6/18/2010 5:46:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 63846    This is true. I like my makeshift answer, however. I plan on keeping it.   
Date: 6/18/2010 7:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 52489    Forstyne is correct in that--according to Carroll--there is no official answer. However, according to the late great Marting Gardner--author of a wonderful book titled 'The Annotated Alice'--a number of solutions have been offered. They are:

1. Because Poe wrote on both!

2. Because they both produce notes that are very flat.

3. Bills and tales are among their characteristics.

4. Because the notes for which they are noted are not musical notes.

5. Because it slopes with a flap.

Date: 6/19/2010 9:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 26227    I dont know about a raven and a writing desk but the real question of the decade is If a chicken had lips could it whistle?  
Date: 6/20/2010 8:52:00 AM  From Authorid: 34078    I like #1. Because Poe wrote on both! But I do drive an eighteen wheeler.
