 Washroom architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A washroom is a room for washing one's hands (i.e., a lavatory), but the term also is used to denote a toilet room, also sometimes referred to as a "restroom".
Usually the term "washroom" is used to denote a public, commercial, or industrial facility designed for high throughput, whereas a similar term "bathroom" is used to denote a smaller, often residential facility for lesser throughput (i.e., often for only one person at a time to use).
For example, in beach areas, a portion of each washroom is often equipped with benches so that persons can change into or out of their bathing suits.

 Rudolph Valentino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During this time he made two of his most critically acclaimed and successful films, The Eagle, based on a story by Alexander Pushkin, and The Son of the Sheik, a sequel to The Sheik, both co-starring the popular Hungarian-born actress, Vilma Bánky (with whom he had a brief relationship prior to his involvement with Negri).
In July of 1926, Valentino was attacked in an anonymous editorial published by The Chicago Tribune in which the author, incensed by a powder dispenser he had seen in a men's public washroom, blamed him for the supposed feminization of the American male.
Furious, Valentino responded with a challenge to a boxing match that went unanswered.

However, by summer of 1909 Mayakovsky was back in the slammer, this time because he walked into a stakeout aimed at a Georgian revolutionary involved in expropriations and the organization of a successful prison break.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky...by his behavior incites other prisoners to disobedience toward prison officers, persistently demands free access to all cells, purporting to be the prisoners' "spokesman"; whenever let out of his cell to go to the toilet or washroom, he stays out of his cell for half an hour, parading up and down the corridor.
Mayakovsky was moved from prison to prison and eventually wound up in solitary confinement in cell 103 of Butyrki Prison.
