Alice in Wonderland

This movie is fun- we saw it last night. It reminds me of Narnia and Lord of the Rings at the same time.

I have the answer to the unanswered riddle which Johnny Depp (the Mad Hatter) keeps asking- "What is the connection between a raven and a writing desk?" Both tie in with Edgar Allen Poe- he wrote "The Raven" at a writing desk (there were no computers back then). A little known fact of trivia is that Poe's poem is about Charles Dickens' pet bird, whom Poe acquired after it died and was stuffed. Today the raven is in a museum in Philadelphia, and a minor tourist attraction.

I'll bet you didn't know this!
