Something odd in my firewall logs

So we've got an ASA 5510 setup and I was looking through the syslog for it today and I've noticed a strange message and I'm not exactly sure where it's coming from or if it's anything to worry about.

No matching connection for ICMP error message: icmp src inside:10.165.80.1 dst outside:192.168.3.100 (type 3, code 13) on inside interface. Original IP payload: udp src 192.168.3.100/123 dst 72.26.125.125/123.

There are a few things that make this odd, first being that the source ip address is the destination is the subinterface of the router, which has access lists on the interface going in to deny and 192.168.0.0/16 traffic ip/tcp/udp/icmp. I also added an access list on the interface connecting the router to the firewall to deny any 192.168.0.0/16 traffic. The firewall also has 192.168.0.0/16 blocked both incoming and outgoing for ip/tcp/udp/icmp.

So first, what could be causing this? There are no entries in any of the routing tables for any 192.168 address I'm not able to ping them from either the firewall or router. Everything is explicitly blocked but some how it's still able to fill up my syslog with these messages. If nothing else they're annoying and take up time/space reading through important messages.

Well, port 123 is NTP and 72.26.125.125 is hosted by alchemy.net and has a simple "hi :)" as the html content. And finally ICMP type 3, is a Destination unreachable message. Does any of this look familiar? What is 10.165.80.1?

I know that 72.26.125.125 is what pool2.ntp.org resolves to and it's a fairly common ntp site/service so I'm not particularly worried about it. 10.165.80.1 is the sub interface ip on the inside of the router which has an access list blocking any 192.168.0.0/16 addresses in. And the outside interface on the router has an acl blocking any 192.168.0.0/16 addresses going out of it.
