Sadly, "Common" isn't one of them.

Very interesting, I never looked at our senses that way.

Kinda falls into the "Tastebuds are sectioned off on our tongue" thinking doesn't it? We were told this from a young age, so just believed it, y'know?

I had a relative that stuck a chopstick too far in his ear and broke his equilibrium bag and had terrible balance for months afterward.

I think the heart is key to 'other' senses. The heart is the first electrical impulse in the body, it's independent, it's the strongest electrical signal; why?

Water carries memories, blood is made of water, and our dna, blood memory pumping through our hearts? I think there could be something to this, and perhaps a means to quieten, and awaken to an inner strength at the very least.
