I had an interesting moment of "What? You mean some people DON'T?" this weekend.
[Poll #1308075]
My answer to both of these is "Duh! Doesn't EVERYBODY?" (In the case of mosquitos, how else do you know to swat them?) These are not small sensations for me. They are obvious and can be startling. Last weekend I learned that there are people for whom this is not the case. I was pretty surprised.
At the vet clinic, it's obvious that some animals feel the needles while others do not. That also seems very strange to me.

My Huh? moment came when I was talking with a housemate who had spent some time "vacationing" in 'Nam and he didn't really care if they bit him -- he didn't react any more. Guess the critters we've got here just don't compare.
