I started to see the following in one of my ical calendars:

"* 5pm Do Something Cool @ 5pm"

Hmm, why the double timing? Well, it turned out that the owner of the shared calendar also used iCal, and hadn't changed the DEFAULT setting on whether to show the time in month view.

Not having a time was a pain, so she started to add the time into the title.

This is where the default should be the other way around. And I have already went on about the darn month view being evil too :)
