Dracula 'Spit' Harbors Life-Saving Potential

While the image of bats makes most people cringe, and the mostly harmless creatures all seem to have a reputation for blood-sucking thanks to Dracula, the truth is, that these tiny creatures may be the key to life for stroke victims. And that key is held by the vampire bat.
As a rule, the vampire bat takes in up to 50g of blood a day. That consumption is not like sitting down to lunch at McDonald’s. The process is slow, and takes hours. How then, do they manage to keep the blood flowing, when their victims’ systems (generally cows or donkeys in South American countries like Brazil) are pumping out clotting factors into the tiny wounds?
Protein in the bat’s saliva keeps the blood liquid and mobile, until they are done the meal. When their fangs withdraw, the wound seals. Researchers who delved into the structure of that protein, came up with the drug desmoteplase, currently manufactured in Germany by the Paion company, and under study in 16 American institutions.
The drawing card for the duplicated "bat spit", is the expanded time frame for treating stroke victims. Currently the only approved drug for immediate use, is IV t-PA, which must be administered within three hours of the onset of symptoms. Desmoteplase, widens that window of opportunity to nine hours, which could mean the difference between life and death, or crippling and total recovery.
So promising is the drug, that the American Heart Association named it to their top ten list of advances in cardiac/stroke medicines for 2003.

The Devil You Say?

More like what the Devil, was saying. Or, that was the idea. People often step into an argument, claiming to be the Devil's Advocate. What they usually do, is take the unpopular side of the discussion or a position that is contrary to the one being promoted. Some do it out of genuine intellectual or other interests, while there are people who enjoy the role, simply to tweak a nose or have fun with those participating.
But was there ever an advocate of the Devil? Yes, but oddly enough, he wasn't arguing the Devil's good points. He was arguing all the points that the Devil would present, had he been present. And in church, no less.
For the Devil's Advocate was an official office of the Catholic Church, instituted in 1587. It lasted nearly 400 years, until Pope John Paul II abolished it in 1983. The advocate's role was to argue against the canonization of nominees for Sainthood, presenting all contrary evidence that a given person warranted the honor, and picking apart the evidence given to back up the nomination. When the Devil's Advocate was no longer there to give "the other side", it paved the road for a phenomenal 500 canonizations and 1300 beatifications during John Paul II's reign.
Clearly, whoever served in that office must have been extremely effective, since the Popes who had served throughout the 20th century had never managed anywhere near those totals, even taken all together.
However, there are those secular devil's advocates, who argue that the role should never have been eliminated, since it ensured that only the truly saintly made it through the process.
