It is possible to replicate the results,

Open up a query window to a database and type in "SELECT * FROM sys.master_files", then open "activity monitor" and kill the SPID which corresponds to the Query window.

Now execute the query, and you'll get the red Transport-Level error. Move cursor into the Message window and add the "Formatting" error in black, and hey presto, Prankus Maximus.

Like it 🙂 Must remember this one.. hehe.

P.S. Putting the question in the category 'Humour' kinda gives it away though 😉
