Oct. 11 - British novelist Doris Lessing reacted with the words 'Oh Christ!' when told by a Reuters correspondent that she'd won the 2007 Nobel Prize for literature. Lessing gave her reaction as she returned to her home in London soon after the award was announced. According to her agent she missed the actual announcement as she had been out shopping.
