Now this gets a bit a offtopic, but:

If you already have a Facebook account, any site you visit which has
"Facebook Connect" on it usually points directly at facebook.com for
downloading the 'Facebook connect' image so the Facebook-cookies have
already been sent to Facebook.

Why would Facebook care about your IP-address ?
