And the men’s urinals here have a silhouette of a fly in them. What’s that all about? Are they targets?

Yes, actually. It's been determined that men are not as messy when they have a target. http://www.npr.org/templat... ""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."
When flies were introduced at Schiphol Airport, spillage rates dropped 80 percent,"

Interesting... First time I've seen them.

Same theory applied to male potty-training. :)

First time I heard about this was when I was in Portland at a conference in October. It was mentioned during a presentation on UX and UI design, and then, shortly after the presentation, I found that the bathrooms in the conference center had them.
