Does anyone know the answer to this?

  • Because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes.
  • Because Poe wrote on both.
  • Because there is a B in both and an N in neither.
  • Because it slopes with a flap.
  • Because you cannot ride either one of them like a bicycle.

And from Lewis Carroll, himself: `Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is never put with the wrong end in front!
