More moments of inertia on [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​List_of_moments_of_inertia|wikipedia]]. If we know the moment of inertia of an object around an axis that passes through it's center of mass there is a theorem that can help us find the moment of inertia around a different axis parallel to the axis through the COM.
