When people sign up for FB and let it import their email contacts to find friends...if you are in THEIR contact list it will connect you as a friend suggestion. I believe it also sends out an invite at the same time if they let it. Explains why you can get a friend request and you don't have a FB account. To accept it you have to sign up. Creepy marketing technique, but not unexplainable. It does however show you who is not being careful with YOUR info and shares that info with FB and who knows who else just because FB "suggested" they to do it when they signed up.
