Shakira Smarter Than You Think
My knowledge of Shakira is pretty shaky. It’s pretty much limited to the fact that she’s tiny, and that her hips apparently don’t lie. However, I’m informed by reliable sources (read: the internets) that she’s much smarter than your typical tiny popstar, and has an IQ of 140. Now, I haven’t been able to track down anything to back that up, but if true, that’s bordering on genius levels of the test — as fundamentally flawed as it is. As evidence of her intelligence, I point to her speaking three languages fluently, another three basically, is a major philanthropist for poor children, is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has been honored twice by the UN for her work with children. Even if her IQ isn’t that high, she seems to be doing pretty smart things with her money and fame.
