I know exactly why a raven is like a writing desk. Because it is nevar put with the wrong end in front.

: I've searched the net on this subject and found nothing even probable as a good response.
: I would love to hear others answers to this riddle.

: My answer is, that they are both symbols of civilization and to remove either is to end
: civilization.

: That is, the 'WRITING DESK' is where writing occurs and writing, or literature, IS
: civilization; as in without the writing desk there is no writing and without that there is
: no civilization.

: The RAVEN part of the riddle is a little more complex, but it goes like this. Legend has
: it that when the last raven leaves the Tower of London the British Monarchy will fall. So
: if the Monarchy IS Civilization then without the raven there is no monarchy and without
: them there is no civilization.
