Forget about arts and crafts. Bingo be damned. Nintendo’s Wii is becoming a hit with the senior set. Similar to a report in The New York Times earlier this year, the UK’s Sun says residents of the Sunrise retirement home in Birmingham, England can’t let go of their Wiimotes. In fact, they’re staying up way into the early evening hours battling each other in tennis, boxing, and bowling. Reports the Sun: "Barrie Edgar, 88, one of the home’s residents, said, ‘It’s great fun. We’ve only had it a few days, but we can’t put it down.’ Mr. Edgar then glanced at Tilda Montgomery, another Sunrise Home occupant, and exclaimed, ‘Prepare to be owned, you old bird.’"
