Hours of Fun, for Man...and Dog. Thank you, Fred!

Fred Morrison, inventor of the Frisbee, dies at age 90


Fred Morrison, inventor of the Frisbee, has died at his home in Utah at the age of 90.
Morrison traced the idea for the Frisbee to a Thanksgiving Day family picnic in 1937 when he and his future wife tossed the lid of a popcorn tin back and forth for fun, the Deseret News reports.

He took the idea to the beaches of Santa Monica where he sold the "Flying Cake Pan" for 25 cents.
