Retirees bowled over by Wii Olympics

News.com is reporting that the fabulous Nintendo Wii is quite literally bowling over the retired generation, who love it usability and social nature.

A number of people in a Virginia retirement home are taking it up for a way of exercise as well as a way to mix with their friends and other residents - and this trend can only grow.

Tennis and bowling (which is the best game by far) seem to be the most popular.

72-year-old Flora Dierbach said of the bowling game:
"It's a very social thing and it's good exercise...and you don't have to throw a 16-pound bowling ball to get results."
