Meanwhile, some 3 million years ago

Some evolutionary psychologists have theorised that from a macro-evolutionary perspective, the human brain fits the profile of sexually-selected ornaments, like peacock feathers. Which suggests that way back in the paleolithic era geeks were sexy.

How I Met Your Mother

The show is over. It had its moments but the general consensus is that it should have ended 2 years ago. They dragged it and dragged it testing the patience of all those who had started watching the series from the beginning. And finally when they started wrapping up all the loose ends and gearing towards the finale, one expected that it could end with a bang and make up for all the busts. One would be so wrong. It sure was a disappointing ending.

*Spoiler alert*
The creators spent the better part of 3 seasons to show the transformation of Barney to a sensitive and loving guy and an entire season to the Barney-Robin wedding only to squander all of it and spend 4 minutes to say, "Robin and Barney split", "There is no 'the gang' anymore", "Ted and Mother lived happily for...waitforit... some time and then she died... you don't need to know of what" Oh well! there is Ted and Robin. Blue French Horn. Good bye.

I call Total BS

In other news, there is an alternative ending doing the rounds on the interwebs. Ted meets the Mother on the Farhampton platform and they find each other... Roll Credits. Now that was a decent ending.
