Dear Gentle Reader(s), time for a giggle provided in part by the highly esteemed Andrew Sullivan. Under the title "Peeing On A Bug" Sullivan offers this:
One memorable example of the power of choice architecture comes from the men's rooms at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. There the authorities have etched the image of a black housefly into each urinal. It seems that men usually do not pay much attention to where they aim, which can create a bit of a mess, but if they see a target, their attention and accuracy improve. Spillage at the airport decreased by 80%!
Now, if they could only figure out how to make the ersatz fly move around a wee bit, that spillage would decrease even further!
