Wait, what?

The National Boomerang Championship has a “Long Distance” division. I’m not making that up.


There's a National Boomerang Championship?


Yes...and they have multiple events including "Long Distance." This makes no sense to me because....you know....it's a boomerang. It's supposed to come back to you. It would stand to reason that the thing you want least out of a boomerang is distance.


That reminds me of a great joke. "What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick!"


Maybe the Distance award is like the Ig-nobel prize of the Golden Raspberry awards. Given to the biggest fail.
