"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" -- a question posed by the Mad Hatter from the story Alice in Wonderland and lastest hit movie "Alice in Wonderland" starring Johnny Depp, this riddle seems to have aroused the curiosity and interest of many's heart.

So, I did a mini research on it and found the answer. Originally in the book, after a few pages of letting Alice guess, the Hatter admits "I haven't the slightest idea." This scene of the riddle is intended to illustrate the topsy-turvy world that Alice has fallen into and that, with the whole book illustrating how confusing the adult world seems to children. When Alice asks about why they are wasting their time with riddles that can't be solved, she's really asking a larger questions about adults.

Also, I found out later that a later edition of the book addressed the issue, saying "Because produce few notes, and are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong way front."

All these reminded my of my literature lessons in Secondary School. And I DO miss it! Haha... It reminded me of how literature sometimes intrigue me! =D Hm...

So I'm just gonna end of by saying... Does this show I'm MAD? BONKERS? Well let me tell you something, all the best people are! =) Nothing to argue with there! =)
