The origin of the Frisbee is said to have originated at Yale University
in New Haven, Connecticut just after WWII when students started throwing
empty pie plates from the nearby Frisbie Bakery. A shout of 'Frisbee'
was often heard if someone got in the way of the spinning pie plate. In
the 1950's, the Wham-O Manufacturing Company marketed a plastic version
- called the Pluto Platter and the game took off in popularity. Frisbees
have been clocked at over 75 m.p.h.
