15. People do have a sixth sense, proprioception.
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 11:19 AM by LoZoccolo
They discovered that people have a sense for where their limbs are that acts independently of the other commonly-cited five senses. This was discovered or confirmed by the discovery of a woman who had to, for instance, look at her feet in order to walk; she evidently had impairment of this sense. I'm pretty sure this is not what you mean by a sixth sense though. :)

Then there is equilibrioception, the sense of balance.
