Assignment 6 - Joseph Cook

If you could have one sense that you don't now, what would you have, why? Describe what the sense would allow you to do, and how your brain would register it.

What is your ideal meal. you can have any food, and anybody from any time period there. why?

You are going on a trip to mars as the first human on mars. With the weight restrictions, you con only bring around 20 lbs of personal items, but they can be anything at all. what would you bring and why?

If I could have one sense that I don't have now, I would really like to be able to sense how somebody is feeling. It is said that wild animals can smell fear, I would like to be able to smell emotion in general. Happiness would smell like a warm summer breeze, sorrow like wet leaves after a storm. Excitement would smell lice fresh snow, love like freshly baked cookies. Fear could smell like a damp cave, while confidence would smell like a crisp fall day. Anger would smell like the ozone smell when something electronic is working too hard. Boredom would smell musty, like cloth left damp too long. This power would allow me to gauge how others are feeling around me so that I could correctly respond and talk to them based off of that information.
