It is, as the URL indicates, from doxdesk.com and is meant as a joke. The author says, "I thought this image would be An Hilarious Joke-humour for SO users..."

Look at the related questions, the names of the users and other page elements. Someone's just modified the DOM content.

My favorite: Where are my legs? :)

one username on that page: "Timothy Goatse"

Enough said?

Awesome! Who says geeks don't have a sense of humor!

Oh! And while we are at it, jquery also makes my breakfast every morning.
