Daniela Simidchieva, a Bulgarian woman listed by the Mensa Society as the "world's cleverest" has spent the last couple of years on welfare and can't get a job to save her life. In fact, she may be too smart for her own good. Although her brain is as brawny as Marie Curie's, she can't even get work as a maid (imagine how clean the house would be). She says Bulgarian bosses don't want clever employees. So this dumbfounded brainiac is now in Britain trying to get a job. For anyone hunting a job, this kind of news really...smarts.
