There is such a rule. The reason it's not well known (or barely) is that we've never had to use it, and only will in another 2000 years (plus a few months).

I'll try to find a site that explains the rule, but I'm sure of it. I seen it on the boob-tube, so it must be true!!! Actually, it was on the Discovery Channel a while back (say a few years!)
