Is this even possible?
In my wallet I saw a strange address under "Your Bitcoin address:"
I keep all of my address organized, and I know I have never seen that particular one before.
I looked through both my sending and receiving addresses and it was not present.
More interestingly, I looked up the address in Bitcoin block explorer and it says the address does not exist in the network.

Its a new address, the client creates a new one everytime there are no more 'clean' addresses.
