Frisbee Inventor Dies

The man who brought all children happiness - before they started playing with guns and weed - has died at the age of 90. Walter Morrison started throwing cake tins as a beach game with his wife, then after he fought in the the war, made them out out of plastic and called them Pluto platters.

He started demonstrating and selling them in fairs and then in caught the attention of manufacturers Wham-O who took on the product and change its name. Since then is has sold more than 200 million Frisbees. Morrison who lived in Utah in the US had three children.
