BoomerangBoomerangs are well-known as the wooden projectiles
used by Australian aborigines for hunting and in religious
ceremonies. But items considered archetypes of the boomerang can be
found around the world, in places like Egypt, Europe, India, the
United States, and Colombia. A boomerang was even said to be found
in the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen. Although V-shaped
boomerangs are the best known, sport boomerangs generally have
three wings. Recently, four- and five-winged boomerangs have
appeared as well. Although any flying device with a wing that cuts
through the wind can be made to return to the thrower, those with X
and Y shapes return especially well. Devices with shapes such as
those of C and O will not return to the thrower because they have
no wing to cut through the wind.
