How's a raven like a desk?

Both have inky quills?

[jabberwockish.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's a g-good one...

But I don't quite think that's right.

[boxofcomfits]

I thought so as well.

Perhaps it doesn't have an answer? Contrariwise, perhaps there may be multiple answers . . .

[jabberwockish.livejournal.com]

Every riddle can have multiple a-answers, it just matters which is the best for y-you.

O-Or, you know, maybe it doesn't.

I think the answer might be Poe for me.

[ourswan-song.livejournal.com]

I don't know!

[jabberwockish.livejournal.com]

Me neither! I-It's curious, isn't it?

[ourswan-song.livejournal.com]

It is! I like riddles.

"Why's a raven like a writing desk," actually.

And my favorite answer is "because Poe wrote on both."

[jabberwockish.livejournal.com]

Well y-yes, but that's not six words. I didn't want to b-break the rules.

That's a good one, but there are just s-so many.

"Why's" not "how's" and you could have done "writing-desk" but I'm just nitpicking. I said that that one was my favorite.

[thestorytelling.livejournal.com]

'cause i shoot them both if they get in my way?

[jabberwockish.livejournal.com]

Y-You would shoot a desk? With what kind of bullet?

[thestorytelling.livejournal.com]

the kind in my gun.
