Interesting to see what people vote. I have a hunch that I know what it'll be, though... ;)

Hm, smell, of course...

Taste, definitely. Most of the flavor comes from the sense of smell-all taste does is tell you if its sweet, sour, salty, or bitter.

if i go blind on thursday, then sight :p

if smell didn't have anything to do with taste, then that.

Come to think of it, touch is pretty useless too...

well I guess it is good for alerting your brain when you get hurt somewhere, but that's about it. :p I think I would do just fine with only sight and hearing. :D

you wouldn't feel anything.

you know when your foot falls asleep? your whole body would be like that.

Taste. I'd pick sight (being a night person, and not accustomed to using it for too many functions), but it'd make reading and rendering kinda difficult if I couldn't see. Every other sense I need to get around, avoid getting hit by drunk assholes, etc.

There is still a funny tingling feeling when that happens though; if that is not there, I wouldn't really care too much.

I don't suppose you'd want to give up your erogenous zones?

"CP w/o touch, normal day:
almost die washing his teeth, didn't notice the toothbrush was hitting the back of his throat
drops his glass of water, didn't hold it strong enough
fall in the stairs, once more: didn't notice his left foot did nt touch the ground before moving the right one
breaks the dishes, he's pushing too hard trying to cut the steak his mom cook up for him
etc etc etc"
cool, having no touch

Taste. Taste all the way, and then you could eat really healthily, all the time. :nod: :D

1: I usually finish brushing my teeth in five seconds, so I would bring it out quickly anyway. :D
2: Holding it from the bottom would prevent this.
3: I could just look down and see where I am going. :p
4: I would have to be one heck of a strong guy to be able to do this. :D

Hehehe - considering some of the things being sold on e-Bay, you might be able to get a hefty sum for your sense of smell. :p

i'd give up smell.

Sight I need for Nodewars
Hearing i need for playing FS2
Touch i need for you-know-what ;7
and Taste i like.

Smell, on the other hand, often involves very stinky things. And very strong smells often give me headaches. Especially those god-awful lotions that the high school girls are always rubbing on their hands.

Oil, yes. Incredibly-strong-artificially-fragranced-lotions, no.

And that's all I have to say about that.

I am sort of reminded of Numb-and-Blind Man, a superhero from San Francisco who gave up all of his senses and limbs, in exchange for total invulnerability.

His only method of attack is to have his sidekick, Mischief Boy, roll his hospital gurney down a hill, where it will hit a bump, and fling him (hopefully) into a crime lord.

You'd be surprised at the looks on some people's faces when they see a random torso rolling down a San Francisco hill on a hospital gurney...

I wouldn't like to loose any of them.

Sight - How can you look at the hot babes without it?

Taste - How can you eat something without it and enjoy it?

Hearing - How can you hear a girl when she drops you the good ol: "Hey how are you doin'?" line?

Smell - How can you smell a girl's perfeum without it?

Touch - You can't live without that one. ;7
