| Boomerang |
The
boomerang’s shape, together with its spinning motion through the air, makes it
return.
A
boomerang is a curved throwing stick used by the natives of Australia and some
other countries as a weapon or for hunting.
There are two kinds of boomerangs—the return and the nonreturn
boomerang.
The
return boomerang has the ability to return after a curving, spinning flight,
and land at the feet of its thrower.
Such
boomerangs consist of curved, hardwood blades which are usually flat on one
side and slightly rounded on the other.
The ends are slightly twisted in opposite directions.
It
is this shape, together with the spinning motion of the boomerang as it whirls
through their, that makes it return to you.
Some
people think that the boomerang comes back after hitting its target. But this is not true. The first part of the boomerang’s path is
nearly straight. It is expected to hit
its target while in this part of its flight, and return only if it misses the
goal.
The
nonreturn boomerang is heavier and is nearly straight, and does not return to
the thrower. It is used mainly or
hunting or as a weapon. – Dick Rogers
