Steady Ed
Ed “Steady Ed” Headrick invented the Frisbee in 1965 and went on to invent disc golf, found the Disc Golf Association, and invent the disc golf basket. To say he was flying saucer-obsessed would be an understatement. Naturally, Steady Ed made his wishes clear that he wanted to live on forever as a Frisbee. For $215 you can purchase a disc golf driver and putting set made from plastic infused with Steady Ed’s ashes.
