At long last, Mario Vargas Llosa receives his Nobel! One of the greatest literary injustices of the last decades has been finally fixed.

Yes, nice for him but with literature, at least, you are never out of the running. In science, however, when the prize is given for a certain discovery, if you are snubbed you are snubbed for life. Most recently David Baulcombe who mind bogglingly did not share the prize for medicine with Mello and Fire in 2006 for the discovery of RNA interference. Equally sad was the exclusion of Salvador Moncada from the prize for nitric oxide in 1998. Moncada did publish the discovery of NO as endothelial derived relaxing factor first.
