Jim, isn't it ironic that you got the title of the book wrong? Perhaps mildly, but that doesn't diminish the stupidity of the book, or its author.

Hmm. on the blurb "Nobel Prize Nominee" I thought it was the policy of the Nobel Committee to never announce who had been nominated.

"The names of the nominees are never publicly announced, and neither are they told that they have been considered for the Prize. Nomination records are sealed for fifty years. In practice some nominees do become known. It is also common for publicists to make such a claim, founded or not." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Prize -- Rhonda Lea Kirk You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

The Nobel Committee doesn't announce the nominees under normal circumstances, and keeps the lists sealed for 50 years. Granted, there have been leaks on rare occasion, but without access to the records there's really no proof to back up the claim. However, if this particular bimbo had her current frack toy nominate her, and kept a photocopy or a notarized copy as proof, then she might be able to get away with the claim. Otherwise, it's about as valid as losing an election despite everyone in town promising to vote for you and then scratching their heads when you asked them what happened to their support.
