Are you already completely fed up with the question "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"?

216 times now, since a couple more people have asked while you weren't looking...

On the bright side, it makes a change from all the "Team Edward or Team Jacob?" questions, or "im writting a book bout vampirs shd i hav werwulvs innit 2".

Don't kill Tim Burton. Figure out a way hack Y!A to deliver electric shocks to people who ask questions that have been asked 215 times before. For bonus points, make the voltage proportional to the number of times the question has been asked.

I kind of think that the riddle is overdone. Can't everyone just be aware that there was no intended answer to it? Why try to answer the unanswerable? But then I guess that's what humans have always done, not that it's a bad thing. I don't know, now I'm just ruminating a bit.

But you shouldn't kill Tim Burton because he makes FANTASTIC movies. And you shouldn't kill Johnny Depp because HE makes fantastic movies. And you *can't* kill Lewis Carrol, because he's already dead.... reader, you certainly are in a pickle :p

Tell me about it. All these raven puns flying around.

Write up a constitution for YA. Better yet, a commandment system. Make it a part of the terms of agreement when people join YA.

1.) Thou shalt not ask Team Jacob or Team Edward questions.

2.) Thou shalt use a flipping spell checker!

3.) Thou shalt not question ravens or writing desks.

4.) Thou shalt not expect us to do thy homework.

5.) Thou shalt not ask am I 'preegnant' questions, especially not in B&A

You think of the other five. I'm off to find the Kinder Buenos hidden in the kitchen :D

In the mean time Steve's electric shock idea might have to do until we can conjure up a little fire and sulfur raining from the sky for these infidels.

****Unbelievable, for the first time in over a week I went directly into B&A and the very first question IS:

You weren't kidding, third one this hour. It's like they're doing it to punish us.

I think I'm developing a twitch.

I like Steve's creativity. I agree, too.

I was fed up with it in the movie. They asked three times, I believe. It's even more annoying since there's no answer to it. But, you shouldn't kill Tim Burton. I like his movies.

I'm one of those people who sings songs that are relevant to situations. And this situation deserves the lines; "you'll have me suicidal, suicidal."

I'm seeing it tonight! I'm keen, but, it's been so over-hyped. I think I know the plot, anyway.

Cute? No.

I have a friend whose been an avid Carrol fan her entire life (she even had an Alice in Wonderland themed party in 10th grade), and she'd always chuck quotes from it in conversation.

Enough Alice in Wonderland for me.

Another friend has had her personal message on MSN messenger set to "Why is a raven like a writing desk" since Thursday, when Alice in Wonderland came out in cinemas.

Makes me want to kill something.

It was cute the first time I read it.. in the book.

Yeah. It was a book.

Not a movie. You know, a book?

That thing with... pages? Made out of paper and ink? Yeah. That.

It's a vaguely annoying question but hey, points are points.

I've been waiting for the "Was Lewis Carroll on drugs when he wrote Alice in Wonderland?" questions to start again. Steve and Poe Bird's answers to this question are hilarious!

I agree with Steve... it does make a nice change :P

But realistically, I've not really been on Y!A lately, so I haven't noticed the influx.

I sort of wish these people who think they're clever would wise up and learn how to use the search bar... :P

Not really. I am sick of the kids who keep asking how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a Tootsie pop? in the Trivia section.

Ravens are cool. How often should we badmouth ravens? Nevermore. There. That was even worse, wasn't it? That's just a little lesson in counting our blessings. lol!

(Thanks, Natalie, for some sorely needed clarity.)
