So, I have been thinking long and hard about making this thread. And I feel it's time to get things started. These are real people with real superpowers. You might not think it's true, but there are people out there that are extra ordinary. And this thread will contain a lot of youtube videos. So be prepared to have your mind blown.

First off. Let's take a look at Kim Peek!

The real Rain Man (Part 2-5 is in the link here)


The living Google

Kim Peek is an Austic Savant. Which means he has knowledge everyone here on the forums can not even fathom. It's impossible. However, it came with a price, and his price was that he is mentally disabled. He has times where he can not control himself, and most of all, he has displays of a Mentally handicap. However, he has tapped into his brain so much, that he knows every zip code, of every street, of every city, of every state, of every country, and every thing around the world. And that is the tip of the Iceburg folks. This man knows everything

And next up, you have to see it to believe it.



Ben Underwood. The boy who can see without eyes.

Ben Underwood, whom just recently passed away from cancer, was the only human being who can see without the use of a walking stick, and has mastered the art of Echolocation.

He can play videogames, skateboard, play basketball, run around in his housecompletely blind.

It's amazing on what Ben was capable of doing. You have to check this shit out to believe it.

Oh yeah, and I forgot one person:

Meet: Daniel Tammet. The man who looks at the world as Math.



Daniel, a high functioning Autistic, is a boy who has a brain that functions through constant math calculations. What you see as the letter "A", he looks at it as say an example "65.671". This man does not solve mathematical equations, the answers come to him. He can continuously count infinitely the numbers in pi, and can solve any math equation you throw at him with the simplest of ease. And as an added bonus, he can learn any language in less than 10 days. Any fucking language
