I'm convinced he isn't all human

OK, Usain bolt is inhumanly fast... I think he has part cheetah in his blood. He just ripped out a 9.58 100 meter dash. For You football fans our there, thats a 3.53, 40 yard dash. The fastest official time the NFL has at their combine is 4.09 seconds.

Don't believe me, here is the math:

100 Meters= 3900 inches (a meter is 3 feet 3 inches)
100 meters= 108.33 yards (divide the total inches by 36)
.0884 seconds= time to cover one yard (9.85/yards)
.0884 x 40= 3.53 40-yd dash

A difference of 0.1 seconds is huge separator in the sprinting world... but this registers a ghastly 0.49 second separation. That is insanely fast and almost unbelievable that he could accomplish that speed. He truly is superhaman.
