The Death of an Inventor
The death of Fred Morrison makes the international pages of several newspapers. He is credited with inventing one of the most iconic of toys – the Frisbee.
Morrison, 90, stumbled on his money-spinner when he and his girlfriend were throwing the lid of a popcorn box to each other in the back garden sometime in the 1950s. After it became dented, the pair moved on to the lid of a cake dish, which proved sturdier.
