[Anon]

Umm.. D-day?

Wait.. now that I think about it, D-day doesn't work(yes, i'm a tard).. It was the day the invasion of france began, not the battle in question.. I'd like to change my answer to the battle of Normandy, I think..

sam battle. it was gaudlcanal. the marine should have given you a clue

I'd posted this in the "Favorite Military Quote" thread but thought it's also appropriate here at this time:


"To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A. forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong German armored units. More German armored units have crossed the river Our near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet. Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled U.S.A. troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The order for firing will be given immediately after this two hours' term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this artillery fire would not correspond with the well known American humanity.

The German Commander."

"To the German Commander, "Nuts!" The American Commander."

---General Anthony McAuliffe, 101 Airborne, Dec. 22, 1945

Yale ?


You should have stuck with the WW2 questions man !

[sfhbballnut]

a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie

[hawkeye]

a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie

It was a pie tin company called Frisbie and there were students taking a tour there, when they started throwing it around. But I don't know the school.

[Backglass]

Students at what college invented the Frisbee?

None.

The "Frisbee" was invented by Fred Morrison, awarded design patent 183,626 and sold to Wham-O in 1957.

While many college students threw pie tins from the "Frisbie Baking Company" around on campus (and Yale claims to be the first to do this), the students themselves neither invented the toy nor the pies as the question asks.
