<p>I was in the middle of a grand post about international graffiti, but that will have to come another night. Instead, a photo from the airport bathroom in Singapore:</p>

<p>I subscribe to theory that this kind of granularity in any rating system is unnecessary. You only need three at most: good, bad and neutral, if you must. Over enough time that'll average out and give you something meaningful.</p>
<p>For the record I chose <em>Excellent</em> though, in my heart of hearts, I felt is was merely <em>Good</em>. The extra boost must've come from the good mood I was in knowing that the ratings screen was sanitized regularly.</p>
