From NetBSD: clear up the Pioneer 10 entry. While I'm at it, I've moved
fictional events (mainly from Lord of the Rings) to calendar.fictional, removed a few events which don't really correspond to a specific date, and fixed a few duplicates and such. This file has still not been fact-checked, though.
