This gory sequence animated for your enjoyment, now at
http://cantua.canterbury.ac.nz/~mpt26/art/ascii/pics/boomerang.htm
(requires JavaScript). Animated using the cool Analia program that was
advertised in a.a-a.a not long ago.

I'm sure Colin can oblige us with the lyrics to `My Boomerang Won't Come
