And was fascinated to read about this hoax, a few hours before the actual Nobel for Literature was given. An Eastern European source starting to spread the 'info' that someone else (an Eastern European) had gotten the Nobel. Googling "false info" "hoax" "Nobel" "2011" should provide the actual source. Of course Grice is right that false info is no info, but what does a bad journalist know?
