| Are you as creeped out by this as I am? |
10. Pain - Pain sucks, but it is totally necessary. How else would we know that it's a terrible idea to stick our hand in a burning fire? If we didn't feel the pain from it, then we'd just keep doing it and then we'd all be dead. So, while... erm... painful... pain has its time and its place.
9. Temperature - Yes, temperature (technically "thermoception") is a sense that is unique from "touch," just like pain is different from touch. The receptors you have to tell hot and cold are totally different than the receptors for "feeling" things by physically touching them.
8. Smell - Hey, smelling is great. Especially coffee. Coffee smells great. But I guess as long as I got to keep taste, smelling could go if I was forced to lose a sense.
7. Vestibular - This is your ability to sense things like balance, acceleration, body movement, direction. Pretty important, right? You're going to need that.
6. Kinesthetic - This one is sort of complicated to explain, but I'll try to. Close your eyes and touch your nose with your index finger. Did you see your hand as it was moving? No, your eyes were closed. Did you feel your hand as it was moving? Not really -- you should have only felt it after the touch, not on the way to the touch. Smell or hear or taste your hand? That would be weird. So how did your index finger find your nose then? Well, that's called "proprioception," or "the kinesthetic sense."
5. Hearing - As annoying as some noises (and people) are, not being able to hear would totally suck. How would you be able to rock out?
4. Taste - Life would just suck if you couldn't taste food. I mean why even bother to go on living?
3. Touch/Feel - Feeling and interacting with the world around you is wonderful.
2. Sight - I don't know about you, but I really love seeing. It's such a beautiful world, I would hate to not be able to see it.
1. Seeing Dead People - All the time.
