Somewhat amused that the guy things "UW" universally means "University of Wisconsin". There are lots of UWs out there, and the AI at least chose the largest (University of Washington), though it did claim that William Taft was class of 2000.

Even for Wisconsin, UW is the system. There's UW Lacrosse, UW Milwaukee, UW Madison, UW Platteville, UW Whitewater...

Oh wait.
