WikiAnswers - In 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' what is the answer to the Hatter's riddle 'Why is a raven like a writing desk'
It has been claimed that Carroll is satirizing philosophical paradoxes and riddles. As a logician he may be poking fun at our need for an answer to every question. In reality it is not a riddle at all, but a pseudo-problem masquerading as a riddle. He believed that most riddles are fallacious because they lead the reader to believe that such events are possible or even answerable.
I like the answer above best. /shrug
(Poe wrote on both is a good answer too though)
