Facebook knows a Christopher Lipka who has your e-mail address in his 
address book.  Or vice-versa.  One of the two has allowed FB to persuse 
his local address book (probably with a mobile app, where these things 
tend to happen without our knowledge)

I am not on Facebook, and never have been, but about once a year, I get 
an invitation with a "list of people you may know" that includes half my 
family, folks from here, work and other online places I frequent.
