Thermal Urinal Fly — "In males there is a deep-seated instinct to aim at targets."

Finally — the human drone program goes live.

From the website:

..............................

Thermal Urinal Fly decals aim to make the world's restrooms cleaner and safer — one urinal at a time.

Unlike other stickers, these Japanese decals are thermally-sensitive and designed so that the heat from a stream of urine will make the fly disappear.

Urinal

There has been a worldwide proliferation of urinal flies, observed May Berenbaum, head of the department of entomology at the University of Illinois.

The presence of a fly in a urinal literally changes human behavior  — or at least the behavior of human males.

"Apparently," Berenbaum says, in males, "there is a deep-seated instinct to aim at targets," and having a fly to aim at reduces what she politely calls "human spillage."

Set of two: $10.
