Funny, I don't recall ever seeing the "flying-man.jpg" before. :)

Going back historically to our old SVN, it looks like that JPG was 
initially added some 10+ years ago by Rob Tansley (one of the original 
creators of DSpace).  So, that means it's actually been in every version 
of DSpace since 1.0. :)

https://svn.duraspace.org/view/dspace?view=rev&revision=169

Not sure why it was initially added (knowing Rob, it could have even 
been a bit of a joke).
