Question about martians

I have a number (30+ in the last day, over 700 in the last week) of these 
messages in syslog:

Feb 16 16:43:13 saturn kernel: martian source 207.172.210.8 from \
				127.0.0.1, on dev eth0 
Feb 16 16:43:13 saturn kernel: ll header: \
				00:e0:81:05:43:80:00:30:19:31:73:a8:08:00

My MAC address is 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:81:05:43:80  
          inet addr:207.172.210.8  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.255.224
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:162405 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:182904 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:6749 txqueuelen:100 
          RX bytes:31487865 (30.0 Mb)  TX bytes:141886433 (135.3 Mb)
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0x1c00 

I was thinking this might be a problem with me since the header in syslog
looks like it has my MAC addr in it. Are these martians are originating
with me.

And my lo interface is up and running.

I supply this route output in case this helps.

518 > route -e

Does this make sense to anyone? I don't really understand routing very 
well so I don't even know for sure if I have a problem.
