1. You wake up after a severe accident. The good news is that you’re alive, but there is also bad news: you lost 4 out of 5 senses (don’t ask me how you got to know it, you just did) but you still don’t know which one’s left. Which sense would you hope to retain most?

2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?

3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?

4. If you were to choose only one-sentence quote, a motto, to describe your life at the moment, what sentence would it be?

5. Any plans for the weekend?

1. You wake up after a severe accident. [...] you lost 4 out of 5 senses [...] but you still don’t know which one’s left. Which sense would you hope to retain most?
Hearing, I guess.
But touch is also a must have.
Tough to say.
2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson?
Sure I do, I've seen it at least 5 times already.
If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?
If she does, the real reason why she loves me.
The rest is unimportant.
3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?
If the photographer is one of the best, yes.
And I wouldn't need a cause like charity.
4. If you were to choose only one-sentence quote, a motto, to describe your life at the moment, what sentence would it be?
I think I'll repeat myself, you been on holiday, right? :)
Give the things you want to receive.
Recently I've been around this subject.
5. Any plans for the weekend?
Improving my fresh new blog/website(s), maybe. If not raining, maybe a bike ride in the forest.

touch, definitely
2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?

Since hearing is not a key sense for me (see Q1), I wouldn't have any preferences.

3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?

On my own?

4. If you were to choose only one-sentence quote, a motto, to describe your life at the moment, what sentence would it be?

5. Any plans for the weekend?

sure, a combo of housewife's stuff, gym and studying

I saw it a different way: last week's was about a general life motto whereas your question was about a summary of your life at this moment in time.

I think the two things are not necessarily the same.

My answer to the questions will be different.

Skip this one.

2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?
That's what I do some of my research about. After I know I will give you the link to the paper.

3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?

Nudity and charity don't match well. There is more PR for any Playboy there than income for the charity. Regardless of any circumstances my answer is an absolute no.

4. If you were to choose only one-sentence quote, a motto, to describe your life at the moment, what sentence would it be?

Among the five classic "senses," losing your crude touch for temperature and pressure, etc., is probably the most life-threatening. Then again, we're not gonna be doing much independent cooking, ironing, hot/cold water discrimination in our activities of daily living now. So smell. It's fall.
2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?
That "these menstrual cramps aren't that bad at all. I think I'm just going to do a few situps and then get those dishes done." hehe

If you could retain that having lost your sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell then you'd have my undying admiration!

I wouldn't care less as long as my muscles would still be working so that I could pull the plug.

On a similar note: try listening to Dream Theater's "A nightmare to remember". Wass that where you got the idea for this question, Anetta?

In this situation I'd like to retain common sense most.

2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?

Common sense. It's actually the rarest of them. But seriously, I'd be useless and almost unable to do any quality work without neural feedback from touch (except to the circus), but a marriage needs some touchin' too, on the other hand. All my hobbies require a sense of sight, though, so that would be hard to be without too.
2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?

The things they don't seem to actually actively think about? Like why sexy underwear should be worn under an outfit, no matter what it is, especially since they don't actually want anyone to see it. Really, what is that about? The whole "I need to be sexy for people I don't want to find me sexy or who I don't care about what they think of me."
3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?

Probably not unless it was something that would earn a lot of money. I don't think I have that kind of attraction, lol
4. If you were to choose only one-sentence quote, a motto, to describe your life at the moment, what sentence would it be?

What is past is past, it is what it is and what will be will be.

1. Which sense would you hope to retain most?
Sense of humour would be most important in these circumstances :)
2. If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?
I am afraid I don't want to find out anything. I see women as fragile, sensible, wise species, and I don't want to uncover the truth.
3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?
In fact, I'm going to do this one day just for myself :) If that could by any chance do some good, then why not.
4. a motto, to describe your life at the moment
life is not about how many braths you take, but how many breaths that take you away
5. Any plans for the weekend?
No clubbing :) Maybe countryside, lake, some work, and sleep

I believe I could do with sight. Hearing is also importand but it would be damn hard to live without reading
2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?
unfortunatelly, I wasn't lucky enough to see this piece of action ;)
being aware of woman thoughts could make me feel uncomfortable...
3. Would you agree to act as a model in a nude (and I mean REALLY nude!) photo session for important charity purposes?
Since access to my nudity is limited the above sounds like mission impossible

Sight.

2. Remember „What Women Want?” with Mel Gibson? If you were given the ability of hearing opposite sex’ thoughts, what would you like to find out most?

I wouldn't, the whole beauty of it is not knowing what guys think. AFAIR, Gibson wasn't extremely happy with all these thoughts he was able to hear.
