Boomerangs Anyone?

That's "lose", not "loose".

I had a little toy called a "roomerang" once. It was a little three armed boomerang made of foam. (Is it really still considered a boomerang if it has three arms?) It flew in tight circles and as the name suggests it could easily be used indoors. In fact, it didn't usually work well outside at all because it was so light that any breeze at all would have a huge effect on it's flight. My cats used to love chasing it around the living room!

I thought mine had three arms, but this one has four. . . Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me.

If you don't pay attention when you loose your 'rang, you will very easily lose it.

A few years back I actually found a book titled, "How to speak Australian," or something to that effect. One phrase had me in stitches, about "pervin' at the shiela's norks..."

Probably best left untranslated, especially since this is Gadgets and Gear.

I can translate that easily.

Wood or "plastic?" From the little I've found, it appears that wood tends to warp, and that even the slightest warp will change the flight. How much of a problem is this?

Not really an issue you can't fix by a light twisting. More important is to choose a light,short range, slow geometry like this one:
