When the viking chief Regnar Lodbrog was to meet his future wife Kraka, he gave her a test to see if she was smart enough for him. He told her to be neither clad nor naked, neither fasting nor sated and neither alone nor accompanied. She wrapped herself in a fishnet, bit into an onion and brought her dog. I don't know why I thought of this story just now.
Here is Kate Moss at some event last night.

Malene’s interests and hobbies include Schadenfreude, sci-fi and fantasy (good and bad alike), hilarious hair pieces, age-inappropriate celebrity crushes, messed-up starlets, waiting for the next Star Trek movie, hating Björk, creative profanity, disobedient robots, fake celebrity relationships, post-apocalyptic dread, singing super-villains, baseball, David Beckham (but only when he keeps his mouth shut), vampires and knitting tiny sweaters for her seven cats. That’s not true. Maybe.
Well, you don't get to be a Viking chief by being afraid of smart women. Kate, on the other hand, may want to stay away from the tuna boats.
