Not really interesting or strange, actually.
Every request you (your browser) send to a website includes information about your computer -- your IP address, the browser software you're using, the version of the browser, what link you followed to get to the page you asked for, etc. The analysis software uses that to build the statistics results. You can actually override much of that information if you'd like too, but it takes some work on your end.
All documented as part of the HTTP standard at www.w3c.org if you want the full gory details (but only hardcore geeks like me read that stuff).
