In a DoOver story, a former adult from 50 years in the future astounds his teen friends in 1959 by such futuristic comments as "No shit, Sherlock!"
Really?

I think it's more about the 'no shit' part then the 'Sherlock' part since Sherlock Holmes is obviously from way before 1959. "No shit" in 1959, yeah that would raise eyebrows ;)

Had a google on the origins and the best one stated it was a derivative of "No shit, Shylock" as written by William Shakespeare in 'The Merchant of Venice' ;)))
