** now I have some interesting numbers at the bottom of each event. **
You mean like 1116005574? That is the time code when the even was added. Someone must have turned ON the 'Display in details' option of the time_added event field in the Customize Event Fields section.
** how come the 'time' field can't be shown on the event details page? **
It can be... just not easily (see the 'Links' section of the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site). The date is not recorded in the event database which is all that is displayed on that calendar view page.
