That's configurable, but I can't remember where. My machine once declared "It's not my fault!" before reading out the alert. The only thing a mac of mine has done that's really made me panic was my old 3400. The fan came on. It sounded like the machine was getting ready to explode, and I hit my head on the ceiling trying to get it to switch off. OK so it was only a fan, but I'd had the thing over two years and it had never happened before, which is probably why it was so *loud*. It only happened twice more after that.
