I'm pretty sure Tim Robbins invented the Hula Hoop, no?

Seriously though, I had no idea the same person made the Frisbee & the Hula Hoop.
If it wasn't so cold out & I had some friends in the real world then maybe I'd go out tomorrow & toss a Frisbee around.

Maybe I'll just buy a Wii + Wii Fit instead? Did Richard Knerr make any money from Wii Fit?
