Another possible answer for this was remembering that feather pens were a common writing tool of the day, and that writing desks had inkwells--was, "Because they both come with inky quills."

The riddle was never intended to have an answer. However, some clever gits have come up with the following:
- Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes. (Puzzle maven Sam Loyd, 1914)
- Because Poe wrote on both. (Loyd again)
- Because there is a B in both and an N in neither. (Aldous Huxley, 1928)
* Because it slopes with a flap. (Cyril Pearson, undated)

Please note that the correct question is, "Why is a raven like a WRITING desk?"
