From the Department of the Bleeding Obvious

So was the title of a news blurb in Friday's paper, which read as follows:

From the department of the bleeding obvious:
'People are more likely to binge on comfort food when they are sad than when they are happy'
- From a study by the University of Mississippi, University of Pittsburgh.

Ah, we're so proud of our alma mater for making international headlines!

Go Panthers!!

(Is there an actual department of the bleeding obvious? I love it that there might be--it sounds so British!)

It does seem like there is such a department - at least a couple times a week a blurb from them appears. And the actual headline is always "No S**t Sherlock!' which I never thought to be British until I saw it here!
