Hot water discovery of the day - explained

Time to explain this bizarre title...
In Italian, when you say something really obvious, you "discover hot water".
I've looked for accurate translations in English but couldn't find any, so I'll stick with the literal translation. It implies a little sarcasm, like "oh you are so smart - you discovered hot water!" Which was already there of course and everyone knew, no need to make a big deal about it.

Sometimes I want to share thoughts on my blog, only to realize that they are pretty obvious. So I share them anyway, but you are warned.

Obsessions obsess you only if you are not busy, so get yourself very busy and you will not be obsessed anymore (i.e. change your old obsession with a new obsession, possibly work-related).
