Turns out that evolution (a gnome clone of MS Outook) was checking my google calendar account automatically and I didn't even know it. I use gmail every day, but never use the google calendar app that comes bundled with the gmail account. I do use the evolution calendar function on this local machine for popup reminders of birthdays, etc, but never do I publish my calendar on the internet. So, be aware that some calendar apps are set to do this insane stuff by default -- and google calendar accepts unsolicited invitations by default(!). Maybe you should turn that off if you're not expecting a Nigerian offer you can't refuse?
