"why is a raven like a writing desk?"
at first when the question started popping up on facebook and lj
i didn't know why
but catching the movie today
i finally realised...
got home and re-watched the 1951 version
pretty cool how some elements were retained,
how some were reinterpreted.
anyway if its the answer to the question you are curious about
the author didn't intend an answer
but this is my favorite attempt
by someone else who was perhaps wiser...
"because there is a 'b' in both and an 'n' in neither"
