NOT Captain Cook's Boomerang?

I blogged about a month ago about Christie's auction house putting "Captain Cook's Boomerang" up for sale. Turns out it might not be Cook's boomerang after all. Turns out it might be, in the words of a critic, an unsaleable bent stick.

Later on in the article it's theorized that the boomerang had been given to Cook's widow, who survived him by 56 years (!)(can that be right?) That would make it a Cook-related boomerang, anyway.
