I'm pretty good at throwing a Frisbee and it's a fun pastime with the kids. So from the scientific standpoint, this article caught my attention. I figured angular momentum had something to do with it.
The aerodynamics of flying a Frisbee (emphasizing how to throw a curve)
"As a side note, you've probably noticed that a Frisbee doesn't travel far if it's thrown without spin. Spinning the Frisbee helps it fly by supplying angular momentum, which helps keep the Frisbee stable; the faster it spins, the more stable it should be."
Here's a demonstration of good Frisbee throwing form by Joanna Krupa.
Now, it was reported that later, when Joanna and her nearly-as-luscious sister were playing a round of kelp toss, Joanna's bikini top got a little loose, providing the photographers with proof that she could indeed nourish her offspring with her mammary glands, if the occasion arose. Now, why after seeing (caution is advised if this link is clicked) her extraordinary photo set in Playboy a couple of years ago someone would get overly interested in a brief nip glimpse, I don't know, but there is that titillating aspect of public nudity that occasionally garners attention.
