DS Daily: Training -- what's left?

Alright, we get it. DS developers obviously think we can't do anything on our own. Let's just look at a few of the training titles for various regions so far: walking, brain, vision, yoga, gardening, spelling, reading, language, face ... geez, what's left? Someday -- and that day may be soon -- developers are going to end up putting really mundane things into trainers (as though walking wasn't mundane enough). We can only assume that next on the list is something like Button Training: Learn How to Dress Yourself in Minutes a Day! Well, as there are more of you than there are us, we're certain you can come up with even more ridiculous training games. And just think ... as silly as some may be, they just may end up on shelves, and they'll probably be awesome. Hygiene Training, here we come!

Wait, that one may actually be useful for some people out there ....

2. How about a 'Coping With Depression' trainer for all the Nintendo fans sick of this lazy, casual, training, non-game, lifestyle crap that they're currently obsessed with?

3. How about Button Mashing Training?

The whole game could be some sort of a beat-em-up game, ala Double Dragon. :P

4. The Miyahon check game. Practice the famous upending tea table. Watch the fans' reaction as you delay their anticipated game to add more polish. Hear their whining when you announce the new name. And put more Samus into the box art.

Budget training: learn to budget in just few minutes a day!(if you didn't buy crap like this you might not have to.)
Military training:Learn how to kill in just minutes!(because your hand coordination doesn't teach you how to load the damn gun, useful for fighting off zombies!)
Telekinesis training(when you're done with this you won't even have to touch the damn screen.)
