How is a raven like a writing desk?

I recently picked up Alice in Wonderland, and came across the question "How is a raven like a writing desk?" asked by the Mad Hatter.

It said in the footnotes that there was no answer they could find, but a man had made one up saying that "A raven and a writing desk are alike because they can both make notes, usually very flat."

I remember hearing once that there was another answer, having something to do with Edgar Allen Poe, does anyone happen to know what it is?


Because Poe wrote on both.

and some other answers are:
They both stand on sticks.
'Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and is never put with the wrong end in front!'

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

I know this is a famous riddle from Alice in Wonderland.But does anyone really know why a raven is like a writing desk?


This reference claims that it is because they can produce a few notes that are flat. (originally there was no answer and that was made up by Lewis Carroll after the book came out).

How much would a rosewood 1800's writing desk be worth... It has been restored and is in great condition.?

I have a 1800's rosewood writing desk (it is missisng the tiny draw) I had it restored about 10 years ago and it is still in good condition. It measures as follows: From floor to top 29 inch (73 cm) Width just over 11 1/2 inch (29 cm) Length A fraction under 30 inch (76 cm)


Probably not a lot since if it is restored it loses a whole lot of value as an antique.

Manchester marks Rutherford centenary

Manchester is hosting a series of events to stamp the centenary of a paper by Ernest Rutherford that changed the way we looked at the world and Universe around us.

In 1911, Rutherford, described as the paterfamilias of nuclear physics, presented his research to the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society , which - for the first days - described a "planetary structure" of atoms, one that we still recognise today.

"Before Rutherford, people had mental activity about atoms as an amorphous lump, the "plum pudding model" we sometimes understand about," explained Catherine Rushmore, science curator at the Museum of Science and Application (Mosi).

"Rutherford pulled together all of the research that had been happening and realised that atomic construct had a really dense nucleus, which was positively charged, with negatively charged electrons circulating a crave way away.

"It is almost like the Solar System, where we have the Sun in the middle and planets circulating around it," she told BBC Gossip.

NEW YORK (REUTERS).- A U.S. journal has identified the mystery woman seen kissing singer Elvis Presley in a backstage theater stairwell in an iconic 1956 photograph.

Barbara Gray, now 75 and living in Charleston, S.C., told Vainness Fair magazine that she didn't reveal her identity for the money or fame.

"I just wanted to get my name on the castigate picture," she said.

Gray admitted that she become fed up with being known only as the "unknown woman in the wings" with a under age Elvis in a stairwell at the Mosque Theater in Richmond, Virginia.

Photographer Alfred Wertheimer said he never asked for the sweetheart's name when he took the photograph and she never told it to him.

After newspaper coverage of Wertheimer's photography exhibit at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. in untimely 2010 showed him standing in front of the photograph called "The Kiss," Gray tracked Wertheimer on Facebook and sent him a communiqu.

"I'm the girl. 'The Kiss.' Have
