Religious Studies ... time spent in search of the truth is only wasted when it gets veers off and gets tangled up in convenient assumptions, dead ends, and illusionary self-serving dogma.
Kissing - friendly peck on the cheek/lips, or vigorous tongue action ?

Definitely vigorous tongue action – a friendly peck isn’t a kiss it’s a handshake with the lips.
Kissing (as above) your grandparent or your sibling?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you,

(peck on cheek) Grandparent ... it's something you seem to do when you meet them, although I just give them a hug and say hello (siblings I just say hi to).

Touch, if you simply mean the sense of feeling things ... because you can still sense heat and you can see what your touching. Who needs to know they've actually touched something? (Well, I suppose craftsmen and tradesmen would, but not me
)
Footstool or reclining chair?

Not really sure what mechanics is, but from what I know I feel stats is more useful.

Maths ... much more broad subject ... and stats is so easy I learnt the entire GCSE the night before the exam. The only reason I didn't get an A* in it was because I flunked my stats coursework.
(in the world of today, we wouldn't be able to survive without mechanics ... stats isn't necessary ... it just shows us some usful information)
{English} Language or Literature? (I prefer lit. myself ... study books
)
