1. I have no sense of smell so that is out, I voted for humor |
|
Why aren't there any superheroes without a sense of smell thus making their other senses so great?

Unlike humor, directionn, urgency, panic, and inebriation, balance really is a sense in the same sense that sight, touch, hearing, et al are senses. Since you saw fit to include these most sensible senses in your sense list, I thought somebody should speak up for balance, the forgotten human sense. Perhaps I'm being over sensitive, or perhaps you don't even think I'm making sense withi this sentence. But I just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
I am incensed.

(obligatory Talking Heads reference of the day) :)
Seriously, I have practically no sense of balance, which might be why it didn't occur to me.

5. I went with touch, though I love all five of the biological senses... |

which are the underpinnings for all the "other senses" mentioned in the poll, after all.

6. How is "hearing" different than "sound"? |
|
Apparently, I have no sense of humor.

7. I'm guessing that "sound" should be "smell" since |
|
smell didn't make the list... even though it is one of the five basic biological senses.

12. It isn't; I'm an idiot |

Put on hearing twice and left off smell.
Oh well, from among the other "senses" I should have put on wonder, so now I have two things to be embarrassed about.

10. I think it would be interesting to be blind |
|
just for a while to know what it's like to be in a blind man's body.
Of course I can't just walk around with a blindfold since I don't know braile, have a seeing eye dog, or anything that would make a realistic blind experience.
Oh well.

11. Hearing...without it, you're isolated |
|
from the rest of the world. I could stand losing my taste and smell. Sight would be awful, but survivable. Losing sense of touch would be crippling but I could still survive. Hearing would leave me completely alone.
