Unstable version of GIMP are not supposed to be used by anyone who wants stable software. That excludes kids as well as 99,99% of our userbase. The splash screen is a combination of puns: a) on newly added Cage tool (since 2.7.2, and it's when this splash appeared) b) on alternative meaning of GEGL as Genetic Engineered Goat, Large (where the fifth leg comes from) And, I dare say, it's also a mild joke on people who have let dirty thoughts on "GIMP as in Pulp Fiction movie character" crawl inside their heads and build a nest and now can't (and probabaly don't want to) get rid of these thoughts. By the time 2.8 i out, GIMP will have a new family-friendly splash screen without potentially offensive jokes on anyone's expense, although it's virtually impossible to guarantee that (because there are always people who are ready to take offense at something).
