Impossible skills?

Let's talk about super humans.  Regular people with abilities that seem impossible.

This is Isao Machii and he can slice a tiny BB gun pellet with a samurai sward as it flies through the air at 200 mph.  Crazy mad skills of perception that should not even be possible. Secret super hero?

The Voynich Manuscript

Wilfred Voynich was a Polish book dealer who purchased the manuscript in 1912.  It's origins are unknown.

It is a codex, written in a text that is indecipherable but on studies by code breakers, they find that it does have some meaning behind it rather than random jibber jabber, and it is written left to right.

It has around 240 pages though there are some pages missing.  It is filled with strange drawings and diagrams.  Carbon dating has shown that it was made some time in the early 15th century.  No one has been able to read it and no one knows what it is or what it means.

Ricky McCormick and the Encrypted Notes

Ricky McCormick lived in Missouri until his death in 1999.  He was found dead and very decomposed in a corn field only five days after going missing.  He was a high school drop out and it was said by his family that he could only write his name.

He had been seen getting a check up in hospital on the 25th of June, he had heart and lung problems.  He was then found in an advanced state of decomposition by a woman driving through a field which was 15 miles from his home.  He was identified by finger prints.

12 years later the authorities announced that he had actually been found with two notes in his pockets written in some kind of code.  His family didn't even know about this finding until it was on the news.  They said there was no way he would be able to write such a thing.  The FBI have been appealing for help in cracking the codes, believing it may lead to his killer, but as yet there have been no breakthroughs despite all the interest in the case.  It is being listed as a mystery along with the likes of Tamam Shud.
