With all the Trekkie stuff of late, I'd thought I'd repost this spoof. For those of you who didn't know TheBOB, he was a frequent contributor to the QBasic Forum and a professional graphic artist and programmer in the 1980's. He got the nick, Batman. When we needed graphics help, back in the day, we'd post the bat signal... ^^0^^ and Bob would come to the rescue.
Well one day he posted his white cake recipe program, and something went terribly wrong...
