Does any of you learned friends read the Nobel  laureate of his year? is he 
any good?

I did. 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?
 
Cheers,
