I don't think that. I am simply sceptical since I know that writing:
--- ---MsgBox "Can't joke properly!", 16, "Windows XP" in notepad is not so hard :)

That might be true, but plain text is a lot easier to fake than a screen shot.
In any case, maybe we should open the thread up to some funny error messages that may or may not be genuine. But I guess there are already entire websites devoted to that.

I think he means something like the attachment I'm uploading. It's a simple application to create fake error messages. You could change the message by changing this line:
MessageBox.Show(textBox2.Text, textBox1.Text, btns, icon, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);

Then recompiling. The way I have it though you can just choose from a drop down then get a fake error message.
