Paul.
When I was 19 I worked with a guy called Paul. Paul and I were the same age, and he was pretty intelligent and good at his job. The problem was that he had a massive knowledge gap of what you'd assume were commonly known facts. Over the years I worked with him he came out with many staggeringly misinformed quotes. Here are 2 of my favourites :

Whilst trying to lose some weight Paul took to eating a slice of icing topped carrot cake after every lunch as "carrots are healthy, aren't they?".

He was convinced (around the age of 22) that humans had an endless supply of teeth and that it didn't matter that one of his had fallen out (probably due to carrot cake corrosion) as it would grow back.
