Because Poe wrote on both!. (Loyd again)
Because there is a B in both and an N in neither!. (Get it!? Aldous Huxley, 1928)
Because it slopes with a flap!. (Cyril Pearson, undated)
Because they both taste horrible and I would know!. (the class idiot who eats his desk and ravens)
And here is one I guessed:
Because they both have quills!.
Answer

Answer
This riddle is very famous, although it is the rarefied kind of fame that entails most people never having heard of it!. It comes from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland!. Alice is at the tea party with the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse, when apropos of pretty much nothing the Hatter pops the question above!. Several pages of tomfoolery ensue, and then:
"Have you guessed the riddle yet!?" the Hatter said, turning to Alice again!. "No, I give it up," Alice replied!. "What's the answer!?" "I haven't the slightest idea," said the Hatter!. "Nor I," said the March Hare!. Alice sighed wearily!. "I think you might do something better with the time," she said, "than wasting it in asking riddles that have no answers!."
At this point most of us are thinking, ho-ho, that Lewis Carroll, is he hilarious or what!? But inevitably you get a few losers who say, well, OK, but I still want to know why a raven is like a writing desk!. One sighs wearily!. Guys! It's a joke! The answer is that there isn't any answer!
Answer
'Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and is never put with the wrong end in front!' There!.!.!. straight out of the book!.!.!.
The Mad Hatter's answer in the book is, "I haven't the foggiest!."
However, although the point of the joke was supposed to be that the riddle has no answer, enough people pestered Lewis Carroll that he wrote one for them: "Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes!."
OH my GOD people!.!.!. as the one who ask the riddle, almost every riddle, question, or wonder has an answer!.!.!. y'all are almost there but the very end is worded a bit off!.!.!. "Because both produce very few notes and are very flat, and almost never turned around backwards" easy as that!.!.!. and the reason it was never in the book is because Reverend Charles Dodgson II spelled it as "Nevar" and the printing company employees were paid to be OCD about spelling and excluded it from the prints!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
