Worst airports. Best hotels. Rating these things, I understand. But bathrooms? Yes, the Cintas Corporation recently sponsored an online vote for the best bathroom in America.

Apparently, it's no longer good enough to offer a clean toilet (truly a luxury in some places, believe me), running water, towels and maybe a mirror for good measure. Nope, to compete in the race for best bathroom, you'll need features like gilded chandeliers, marble fireplaces and 1,800 square feet of space. At least, that's what the winning bathroom at the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre in Branson, Missouri offers....along with a hand-carved mahogany pool table.

I'm a get-in, get-out quickly kind of girl so I just don't see the need for such luxurious facilities. But perhaps there really are some people who enjoy hanging out and playing a game of pool while waiting for the loo.
