There's a lot of methods. First it's important to note that there's two suggested friends areas. One is people you are friends within facebook that suggested you add someone as a friend. The other goes off of a more complex system.
One can be if your friends are friends with them. I literally have people it suggests to me because I have more than 100 friends in common with them - and I don't know them.
Facebook also allows people to add their AIM, MSN/hotmail, gmail... address books & buddy lists. So if one of your friends cc'd 100 people and one of them added all those recipients to their address book, Facebook is going to suggest you might know them.
It will also grab people who have worked at the same places you did, or went to the same schools.
There's a few other methods as well.
Like I said. Creepy.
I'm surprised you think it's creepy. AFAIK, it only take into account information that users purposefully give it.
