Next, a multi-year, multi-disciplinary study confirms that water is wet.

Thank God for those hard working scientists!

I JUST realized I have a navel !!! I have been staring at it, and contemplating it for years now … and feel comfortable in declaring its existence.

I thought it was a write up of the Mueller investigation.>s

And the classic scientific study that concluded that “Bears Sh!t in the Woods”.

Here is a small study from the deep wells of internet.
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
Origin
The expression is believed to have originated between the 1940’s to 1950’s
One of the first known uses of the expression in popular culture was in the 1986 movie Little Shop of Horrors Refers to an expression made by an individual in response to a statement that is considered obvious or stupid, similar to the term .
The express is in reference to the character Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who is known for making correct assumptions during his investigations.
A phrase often used towards someone who states the obvious.
Alternative form, NSS
Etymology
“an expression of amazement” + “a fictional detective who makes ingenious deductions”
An expression of amazement followed by comparing the interlocutor to the detective Sherlock Holmes, as if they have just made a great deduction. This expression is, however, used sarcastically, to point out that the interlocutor merely stated the obvious.
Interjection
mean spirited response to someone stating the obvious or a well-known fact; “no duh”.
“There is snow outside, it must be cold”
“No shit Sherlock!”

…Next paper submitted to the Nobel Committee…
Water is wet!

From the article:
// “This is the first study that depicts the entire microbial DNA content of insect vectors using unbiased methods.”
“Blowflies and houseflies are considered major mechanical vectors worldwide, but their full potential for microbial transmission was never analyzed comprehensively using modern molecular techniques and deep DNA sequencing.” //
So the mockery of “What Would We Do Without Studies?” is misplaced.
I recall the mirth accompanying a politico’s description of what he characterized as “so-called research” in which the the time taken using the washrooms in sports arenas was measured.
Shortly thereafter, new arenas vastly expanded facilities for women.
