How should I accommodate an uncle that doesn't enjoy anything?

My parents are gone for the time being, as they took a trip to India. This coming friday, an uncle of mine is arriving to stay with me. The thing is, though, I'll be in school during the weekdays from 7-3. This leaves a lot of time in which he has nothing to do.

here's the problem, though. He doesn't like to do anything. Doesn't like reading, watching movies, watching TV, going out, or any otherwise "normal" activities. I know that this sounds strange, but he lives in a tiny town in NY, works from 9 to 9, then eats and sleeps, monday through saturday.


Anyone have a fix for me?

EDIT: I have already considered slipping narcotics into his morning tea, but that would leave a lot of explaining for me to do if someone dropped in.
 
Get him some magazines and rent him some movies. Trust me, he'll watch stuff like CSI Season 1, etc.
 
yeah, or get him one or two seasons of 24 on DVD. Even if he doesn't like TV there's no way he could resist watching them all after he sees one episode.
 
If he likes to work...what does he do?

can you set him up with remote access to his office? or if he's a doctor, let him do operations in your garage or something...
 
Why is your uncle coming to visit you if you're going to be at work the whole time? WTF does your parents' vacation plans have to do with anything?

Yeah, for some reason I think that a grown up man can take care of his own life if he's going to look after you.

If he knows you'll be gone all day, he's surely smart enough to provide his own entertainment. Otherwise your parents wouldn't trust him enough to leave him to watch you.
