It’s not much fun grilling burgers in the middle of a snowstorm. That’s why we’d like to plug in this Flama Chakall Grill, place it under our super-powerful range hood that can practically suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, and see if the grill can leave those luscious carbon stripes on our slaughtered animal flesh — no matter what the weather.

It’s unclear whether it’s even possible or safe to use this grill inside, but there’s certainly enough power on board to properly fire up those meats — there’s a 2.3kW heating element residing under the grates. Making cleanup easier is a sloping plate underneath that steers all that smoldering grease down to a central spot.

Sure beats the heck out of a George Foreman grill. It might be worth its €65 ($89.37) if it can bring that charcoal goodness inside.

AP – A Toyota spokesman says a Prius that crashed into a stone wall in the New York suburbs is yielding data on engine speed and pedal position.

Those pillmeisters with their crazy inventions — will they think of next? Now drug scientists have stumbled upon a special protein that might be able to give humans the ability to remember things for months instead of minutes.

Researchers discovered that RDS-14 protein works beautifully on mice, remembering objects they’ve encountered for two months, where normally they forget about them in an hour. But keep in mind, while mice have biology similar to humans, assuming that success with mice translates to humans often ends in disappointment.

Sure, we’d like to remember many things much longer, but there are too many others we’d like to forget. But isn’t it a compelling story, a magic pill that gives you a photographic memory? Ah, Big Pharm, what wonders you do with those mountains of windfall profits! Unfortunately for us, happiness and fulfillment don’t come in the form of a pill, and you don’t need to ask your doctor about that.
