No, when you do a whois for 'fakebook.com' it will pull any registered NS entries containing facebook.com anywhere in the whois db. Digging a.gtld-servers.net is the best way to find authoritative NS for facebook.com, not whois. Clay Haynes wrote:

Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.

To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.

It looks like facebook is having DNS troubles. The www.facebook.com subdomain is delegated to some servers that are no longer answering. Also apps.facebook.com is a cname to www-college.facebook.com which gets no reply.
