"Numbers have an aroma?
Obviously missing from your wide array of talents, ledasdottir, is synesthesia."
Dear Faldage: Unfair that you should accuse of troy of ignorance of synesthesia. She
; introduced the word to the Board:
kinesthesia reminds me of synestesia-- a somewhat rare condition where
people experience things with unexpected senses (ie, food has visual appeal, and aromatic
appeal, and can be taste sweet, bitter, salt or sour-- and hot or cold-- but for most of us,
it doesn't taste square, or pointed, or rounded, or yellow or purple or like a ringing
bell, or a clap of thunder! but for people with synestesia -- it can!
googling synestesia will bring up a host of sites.. there is also a book- The Man Who
Tasted Shapes.(author ??) about an inquiry into the subject...
people with the condition are said to have enriched our language-- and defined aged,
flavorful cheese as "Sharp"-- cucumbers at "green" and other mixed sensation.
