Graham Wheeleus was born somewhere between the Tigris and Ephrates Rivers sometime a very many years ago. He is most noted for his work in mechanics and structural engineering. As a young boy Wheeleus loved to play a game not very unlike football. He notice how the smoother the leather on the ball was the faster it would move when kicked. Although the invention of the ball is creditied to John Ball the noted "Father of Modern Sport" Wheelus' investigations helped take ball games to a new level, however because a smother rounder surface on the ball meant that the games could no longer be played barefoot Wheelus's Idea was scrapped and Wheelus sent away.
Wheelus then lived alone for many years, studying and experimenting in a bid to discover the ultimate football. It was through his experiments that he discoverd a common ratio existed which we now call the co-effcient of friction. Wheelus discovered that the this ratio was minimised when the smallest area of a ball was touching the ground, Wheelus tried many ridculuosly shaped ball's with pointed sides before settling on a completely round ball model.
Wheelus' now decided to turn to circular motion to see if he could further enhance John Ball's prototype but he couldn't feeling fustrated with his efforts Wheelus decided to return to his hometown. On his way he sat down on a log which started to roll, Wheelus was had a revalation, when he had sat on his own balls they would be pushed into the ground and would not roll away but now this log being rigid did not and rolled. Wheelus decided the best football would be made out of wood. The inventor however was not a carpenter and the best he could ever manage to build was a wooden disc
People did not enjoy the games of the wooden ball as it could only roll in one plane and not on all axes as at first hoped. However after months of this loging the true potential of this ball was discovered. The disc could be thrown and would travel smoothly through the air, with mastering the disc could be targeted at small defenceless animals, who would then die and be eaten. One such animal, which was particularly defencesless was Fry's Bee, named for its discoverer, Mr. Fry, Fry's Bee had a Chicken Kiev like taste when baked and so was deemed the most delicious animal on the planet at the time - this was of course in a time before the cow had evolved to produce steak, and was still only good for making leather balls (the leather was not yet used to make clothes as when it came to clothing, people tended to turn to the relatively easy to hunt jumper beast). As was inevitiable Wheeleus's disc had put an end to Fry's Bee, which was the first animal to become extinct (followed shortly by the jumper beast - dinosaurs are of course imaginary) but not before being named after it "Fry's Bee Killer". However once the Fry's Bees had all been killed, someone thought it rather pollitically sensitive that the word "killer" be suffixed to the word and so the Fry's Bee Killer was hence named the Fry's Bee. It was of course argued that this might be confusing and so the Fry's Bee was renamed by a symbol, similar to that which Prince had used during the TAFKAP years. Fry's Bee of course has been currupted and is where we derrive the modern day word for Frisbe from.
It was not until after Wheelus had died that the true potential of his discovery had been revealed, on the day of his funeral his casket was being carried by some gentlemen who bore with them some of Wheelus's famous frisbies. Wheelus was a man of imense proportion and hius casket was quite heavy. It came as a great suprise to his widow when his casket was dropped along with his frisbies after 20 minutes carrying. Due to a peculiar shift of wind the casket fell on the frisbies to form a cart like form which rolled swiftly down the hilled surface "like a horse" said one onlooker which is precisely where the word hearse is derrived.
Further investigation was carried out on the frisbie to find out exactly why it rolled. After months of painstaking work the first official"Wheels" went on sale. Soon afterward came the great wheel boom in which many Wheel related items of no particular use went on sale eg. The Wheel Barrow.
