DS Game Could Stave off Dementia

Gamasutra reports that a hospital in Japan has begun renting out DSes and suggesting the title Brain Training to older patients, in an effort to stave off dementia. From the article: "Sixty-seven year old retiree Isamu Shishido is quoted as saying, 'I don't want to end up some crazy old man. I want to play a little everyday before going to bed.' Neurosurgeon Dr Takeshi Kihara comments that, 'The game won't cure dementia. But it's a good form of stimulation, especially for old people living alone.'"

Jesus would agree

If the Bible has taught anything, and it hasn't, it's that old people are worthless and that they should spend their remaining days watching the Price is Right, yelling at kids who are on their lawns, eating at the Sizzler, and such and such.
