Bonus icon set bundled inside of iCal Apps
There is an interesting icon set in the iCal-Package. You can find it, after control-clicking on the iCal application and selecting "Show Package Contents," in the Contents -> Resources folder; the icon set is named icalwr.icns. Just double-click the file and you can watch it in Apple Preview.

[Editor's note: It's Friday, so I figured might as well post something somewhat offbeat. I've never seen this character show up in iCal, so I don't know what it's there for ... any thoughts?]

Rabbit

I suspect this has something to do with the fact that the development codename for iCal was 'White Rabbit'.

Following the Alice in Wonderland theme, the icon probably means that you\\\\\\\'re late for something...

Hmmm...a guess

Well, the white rabbit in Alice says "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date..." or something approximate. I imagine ya would see that icon if you had an event that had passed or an unacknowledged appointment in Ical.

It's from the betas

The original beta releases of iCal used the White Rabbit as the logo for iCal. It appeared on the document icons too. When iCal was first announced at the Expo this summer, you could see the icons in a few screenshots.

dock ‘hack' w/ wr
Authored by: edeloso on Oct 11, '02 11:50:36AM

If you want you can easily make the white rabbit your iCal dock graphic...
If you copy icalwr.icns and then rename the copy of icalwr.icns to iCal-Empty.icns (I suggest FIRST renaming iCal-Empty to something else, like iCal-Empty-Real.icns),
ten next time you launch iCal the white rabbit will take the standard iCal icons place!
This works with just about any cocoa app, it seems. You just have to find what .icns the app is looking for, then ‘trick' the app into finding your .icns instead.
Also, note that the month and date are still written arcoss the white rabbit.

dock ‘hack' w/ wr
Authored by: jcstudio on Oct 14, '02 08:27:17AM

I did something a little different: I renamed the white rabbit icon iCal.icns and replaced the file in the English.lproj (in Resources) folder. This solves the problem of having the July 17 icon in the dock before you launch iCal, but keeps the regular iCal icon with the correct date when the app is open.
