If you missed the 36th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland last week, Wired has an overview of some of the odder inventions on display. The vertical hot-air grill shown above, invented by Heina Gruber of Germany, is supposed to provide healthier meals and save space. I'm not sure if his invention received funding at the show, but if he's going to push the healthy angle he might want to hire a model and fill the device with something other than greasy German meats at the next exhibit.

Baking french fries is healthiER than frying them, but I wouldn't say that they are healthy themselves.
And for people freaking out about the suggestion of a model, nothing was ever said about a supermodel just any model that looks healthier than the inventor.
Seriously, send the hobbit back!
