Log Entry

I was reviewing my web site logs and found entries like these:

2004-12-14 20:38:42 12.217.156.142 - 192.168.0.40 80 GET http://www.proxyjudge.org/prxjdg229.cgi - 404 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1)
2004-12-17 05:53:56 218.18.40.118 - 192.168.0.40 80 GET http://www.ebay.com/ - 403 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+5.00;+Windows+9


I don't understand why the URL is not even my web site. How does someone send that to my site and what exactly where they trying to accomplish (where they using my web server to hide their IP address
from the destination?

Or an honest mistake, typing your address in front of another.
