Can anyone throw insight?

In MD you can throw almost anything you want.

[Aniruddha Mukhopadhyay]

You can only throw if it is Throwable!

[Randall Twede]

the easiest way to tell you what a portal is is by giving examples. yahoo.com, AOL.com and MSN.com are examples of portals

But you should only be able to be caught if it is Catchable.
Consider a handful of sand. If I throw one, can you catch it?
Is there a bug assigned to this yet?
