Yup. That's pretty evil.

I'm sure there was a BSOD emulator around somewhere too, but I can't
find it right now.

I wonder... if one installed megahal and then fed whatever they typed
into megahal and pasted everything that megahal replied as the prompt....

Hmmm. Don't have time to read all the fine print in the bash man page
but I bet it could be done. Might need to push megahal into the
background behind a named pipe or two. Probably need to set autoflush
buffers on the pipes, but I bet it could be done.
