The Magnus Effect has got to be the coolest-sounding effect in the physics world. Which of these is an example of the Magnus Effect in action?

In physics, the Magnus Effect is the force exerted on a rapidly-spinning sphere moving through air in a direction at an angle to the axis of spin. This force is responsible for the swerving of balls when hit or thrown with spin. In other words, it causes things to curve.
