I suggest, though, that it is more helpful to view it as

:r !cal

The '!' belongs more to the argument than the :read command itself. A
'!' appended to a command usually means "really do it, even if it's
dangerous". A '!' before a filename usually means "run it, don't just
look in it".

Cheers,

Ben.
