    Gila monster spit:

    There's excitement about exenatide, an experimental new drug for type 2 diabetes.
    It's made from the saliva of the Gila monster.
    It's the first in a new class called incretin mimetics.
    Incretins are hormones that stimulate insulin secretion in response to a meal. Exenatide works similarly to the human hormone, "glucagon-like polypeptide-1"...or GLP-1.
    These hormones lower blood glucose...lead to modest weight loss...and might also help preserve pancreatic beta-cell function.

    They give 'em a little chewing tobacco. The difficult part is training them to hit the spitoon.

    Actually, Gila Monster spit has been a closely guarded Arizona secret for hundreds of years. It is an old Salado indian shaman concoction. You mix it with certain cactus buttons,, and it is a sure cure for boredom. ;)

    So is this a thread about spitting lizards or Arizona bashing. If it's the first just give the little critters some peppers, that will make 'em salivate.
    If it's bashing you amatures need to get better ammo.
    Plus give me your physical address and I'll send your very own Gila Monster...:D

    They get them to train with the Italian soccer team. Then they put them in front of some Danish players and use a bucket.
