I have always wondered how a boomerang manages to reach a certain distance and then start back towards its thrower... I never really thought about the mechanics of it much, mostly because im not to great with physics, so does anyone here have an explanation on how boomerangs "work"? -Does it return, because you throw it fast and its spinning fast but as it slows down, it still keeps spinning, causing it to...uhh never mind.

Dak, thats really intriguing. I hadn't heard of those cases, thanks for the info

ah yes, good point

I have a quick thought that I have been recently thinking about: If it weren't for modern medicine would natural selection have weeded out most disease and sickness? eg. AIDS, etc
