I posted about this in the calendar list in 2006. You may have few calendar 
entries, but you have potentially infinite number of blank calendar pages, 
going both forwards into eernity and backwards into eternity, and google is 
following the forward and back links and trying to index them all :)

Put this meta tag in the head of your calendar pages:

<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow" />
