Ultimate Frisbee

Walter Fredrick Morrison, who helped decorate the roofs of half the homes in America, has died of cancer at the age of 90. At the age of 17 he flipped a popcorn tin into the air, and later recreated the idea in plastic, creating the Pluto Platter and depriving Korean children, Maxwell Q. Klinger, his Uncle Abdul and Charles Emerson Winchester III, out of untold millions. When Wham-O bought the rights in 1957, they rechristened it the Frisbee, a name Morrison hated, until royalties compounding into the millions softened his stance.
