What sense would you choose?

Odds are you could smell the poison or see the poison before you would taste the poison.

Carbon Monoxide is orodless.

Shit, even Anthrax is odorless, colorless and tasteless.

smell and taste are prettey much the same thing because you use smell to help taste what your eatting....... im using my on screen keyboard

....... im using my on screen keyboard

Uh.. why?

how come all of the sudden that you lose a sense you are surrounded by danger?

I was thinking the same thing

In order to determine which sense is the least useful we need to determine which sense are the most useful. If we surround ourselves with danger, and are capable of escaping through sight, touch, smell, taste, or hearing... then we know which one we want and which one we don't.

but in reality, how often do these things happen to you? and if your attacker knows that your missing your sense of sound, he'll sneak up behind you. if your gonna be attacked, your gonna be attacked. the end. an extra sense wont stop that, it just might make you aware of it.

That only determines which senses are the most useful in a situation in which you are surrounded with danger. That has no relation to which senses are the most useful in everyday life.

exactly! thank you for wording it better than i could

Because the internet is serious business.

How the hell would you lose your sense of touch? Anyways, I put smelling.

After falling 12 or so feet straight down feet first onto concrete, I've lost feeling in a portion of my right leg.

Yea, nerves aren't that sturdy.

that's a bummer. So basically you are telling me I can hit you in that area with a bamboo stick and you won't feel it? (like on Freddy Got Fingered)..

I don't know how it works.

Here's a cool question for another thread. Would you one of your senses in trade for a sixth sense type of deal? If so, which sense?

jamer please translate, you two seem to understand eachother.

Hahaha. I don't even know what the fuck I said.. i'll try again.

If you had an opportunity to trade one of your current senses for another sense (sixth sense) type of deal, would you do it? If you could do so and trade a sense, which would it be and why?

Trade taste for the ability to sense stupid before I communicate with it.

I understood it perfectly the first time. :T

Just remembered that if you lose one of your senses, your other senses become more acute to compensate. Recent scientists have been doing experiments where they'd somehow disable a sense, such as eyesight with a blindfold.
I wonder if messing with the body this way can improve your eyesight so you don't have to wear glasses or contacts if you have a prescription.
