I can assure you I'm right and Homer is wrong. He wasn't either an aerodynamicist or an engineer. He was QC technician who did the best he could given limited knowledge. If you're going to teach it... you have an obligation to get it right IMOP. Glad I could be of some help.

Good point no_mind, I was too lazy to check out what you wrote because I used to listen to Homer's words as a TGM fanatic monk(ey)
!
But the link you provided is quite clear...
What Homer described as the Venturi effect is indeed the
Magnus effect 
.
Aaaaah, at last, The Man made a mistake!
This TGM stuff was way too perfect to be true!
Homer was human: It makes me a believer monk
more than ever!
Gimme a banana!
