Boomerang returns, even in space - ABC News

21 March 2008
In an unprecedented experiment, a Japanese astronaut has thrown a boomerang in space and confirmed it flies back, much like on Earth.
Astronaut Takao Doi "threw a boomerang and saw it come back" during his free time on March 18 at the International Space Station (ISS), a spokeswoman at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said.

This is seriously neat! Not only is it a conformation that a boomarang works on a gyroscopic principle, but at that it holds under very different circumstances to those that hold were most people will try to use one. and the whole idea that an experiment to see if it would work is just the neatest thing with regards to basic science.

At one in the morning because I can't sleep, I think that is a great idea!
