Weird computer connected world shit, anyone know why?

For some reason, once and a while a client will tell me about my FACEBOOK PROFILE PICTURE when they get an e-mail through gmail.  Like "I saw you had a new picture (and go on to describe facebook picture)".  This weirds me the fuck out and I have no idea why an e-mail from google through a non-facebook e-mail would show a facebook profile picture?  Like unless it's reverse searching the e-mail address and grabbing the facebook profile picture of the account that uses that address?

Can't figure out how to fix this and I can't even seem to replicate it wtf... any ideas?

It's probably this.

One of my friends had this issue with an email account in the past (I think it was Hotmail but not 100% sure). His Facebook profile picture was somehow being automatically assigned to his email in Outlook without him knowing about it. We never figured out how exactly it was grabbing the image so he just ended up deleting his profile picture on Facebook as he didn't want to deal with it.

Hmm, I'll try changing the e-mail on my facebook to a new and seperate e-mail and see if that fixes it.  I mean my name will still match up if it's searching by my name.  But not sure I want to change my FB profile name just to avoid that.

Yeah, but OpenID would generally prompt you about wanting to link account(s) to an "OpenID." It can't be that.
