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?

2. Balance
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.

3. Stop making sense
(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...
Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 12:49 PM by HuckleB
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.

9. Hearing...I'm a musician...
and I can't fathom not being able to hear the music.

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.
