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 second rule. Works every time.
P: You're a dick.
