60 second rule

The amount of time before which certain individuals who have asked a dumb or inconsequential question will have either found the answer on his own, or have realized it wasn't worth asking.

Certain people are more susceptible to this rule than others. It's rare that they'll still be curious after 60 seconds have passed. Most of the time, ignoring their question does the trick.
P: If Batman's parents died, then how was he born?
K: ...
(60 seconds pass)
P: Ohhhhhh. Just Googled it.
K: 60 second rule. Works every time.
P: You're a dick.

when a male wakes up in the middle of the night and pees in the dark using the sound of splashing water or the side of the bowl as a guide

If you're missing the bowl by less than five seconds, you're OK and don't have to worry about cleaning up after yourself
don't confuse the five second rule with other such rules regarding the safety of food
