Researchers at the University of Illinois say the so-called "5-Second Rule" isn't a myth. They say when you drop food on the floor, it's still safe to eat if you pick it up within five seconds.

The "5-Second Rule" Rules

From the "simple ways to save 30 seconds" file: college blogger Sean Blanda says the 7 key on your phone is your best friend when you get someone's automated voicemail greeting.

You get a semi robotic female voice saying "The number you have dialed x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x is not available please leave a message after the tone, If you'd like to page this person, press X - BEEP." If you're like me you'd just like to bypass the message. Well just press 7 next time you get someone's voicemail, it will take you straight to the "beep."

The other number that comes in handy with my Cingular phone (like Sean) is the 5 key, which skips through long voicemail messages while you're listening to them. Any other cell phone tricks for speeding up the process of voicemail? Let us know in the comments or at tips at lifehacker.com.
