The ripple effect of Boomerangs!
What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back? A stick …. I know it’s so old you probably fell off your dinosaur when you first heard it! But actually there is some truth to that, the first boomerangs date back approximately 10 000 years and were not designed to return, as they were…
