Why is a raven like a writing desk?

TeLoS · Jun 4, 2003

Not that this has anything to do with anything on the forums... but....

Did ever hear a riddle and wonder what it meant?... i did....

Alice in Wonderland....... anybody remember that?

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" was something the mad hatter asked Alice.....

And i've always wondered what the answer was!...

Yes i'm odd!

How does that make the raven like the writing desk, he wrote about the raven, but did he write about the desk?...

I was wondering this myself. I thought I was still in the "General Chat" forum for a second until you mentioned it.

So this thread wont be a complete waste; Any thoughts on when the price drop may occure for the 9700AIW?

It's a play on words

cf79 is a terrorist and he's hijacking the thread. The AIW will go down when the 5900 ultra comes out...
