How many senses do you have? Five?....Wrong

Aristotle is credited for having classified the 5 senses that we all learned about as children. Sight, Smell, Touch, Hearing and Taste...but that's just the beginning. Don't believe me? Here's a test...Close your eyes, now touch your nose. How did you find your nose? You couldn't see it, hear it or feel it. You didn't smell or taste your way to your nose, so how did you find it without any problems. The answer is Proprioception, your ability to sense the relative position of parts of your body, and that's just the beginning.
