Robert Krulwich had a story on Weekend Edition about a new sanitary technique in mens’ bathrooms. Urinals are being engraved with flies. Forgive the unpleasant images here, but it seems that giving potentially careless men a target reduces splashing and spilling in the bathroom.
Krulwich covers the science behind the target idea and tries to figure out why the target is a fly instead of, say…a bullseye.
You can hear the story here and see some great extras.
