Oblious

Oblious adjective. Descriptive of someone who is unaware of that which isn't obvious. In other words someone who is oblivious of the non-obvious. In a way everyone could be described as being oblious of something or another. The word was first used by Pope John Paul I, when he spoke to the cardinals about his possible upcoming death on the day of his election. He was unaware of his upcoming death exactly 33 days later.
