    This is straight comedic gold. I like to imagine some elderly stenographer refused to retire and this is a common occurrence… or it’s some 3rd rock from the sun aliens first day.

      Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

      At first I thought that was part of the transcription too and my brain was trying to make some sense of it. And for some reason threw at me:

      In German this literally translates to something like “cute sand man”. Because in German you can just add an " I" at the end of any noun to make it sound cute and small. So “Sandi” can be thought of as a kind of diminutive of the noun “Sand”, similar to “Bauchi” from “Bauch” which is stomach. The correct dimunitve of “Bauch” would be “Bäuchlein” but this refers more to the perceived size of the object.

Most people would have simply put “University X”, but since the person said “probably” the organizer decided to be literal and also put “probably”.
