Old factoid, as I've started using the urinals at Schiphol almost years ago and the flies were there. To tell the truth, I didn't bother even "aiming" because they're off center. At least they're not like those rubber mats that I swear are designed by the same folks who designed dribble glasses; damn thing sent your stream right back at you!!!

The picture of a fly in the urinals at Schiphol Airport has been touted as a simple, inexpensive way to reduce cleaning costs. Where does it come from, and how effective is it really?

There’s something of a surprise waiting at the bottom of the urinals in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport: an etched image of a fly.

At first glance, one might be forgiven for thinking it real. Then one notices that all the urinals have one, and the fly is always in the same position, just above the urinal drain and off to the left.

It turns out that men, in their urinal behaviour, cannot resist peeing on things, especially if they look as though they might wash away.

As any mother—or for that matter long-suffering wife—will tell you, men often lack a certain precision when aiming into the toilet bowl. This is bad enough at home, but in public conveniences such male carelessness can be multiplied many times over.

Urinal designers have been obsessed for decades with finding a solution to so-called ‘splashback’. There have been splashback screens that let urine in but not out, rubber floor mats, curiously shaped urinals in which the stream ricochets off concave walls into rather than out of the urinal, and ribbed urinals.

Sent this one to all my friends, and the folks who loved it best were both from Kentucky, and one hated Star Wars...

Most interesting, in that German automakers were among the last to add cup holders to cars because they were confused that people would actually be drinking instead of paying attention to driving...
