Wolfram Alpha has a bug.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=May+14%2C+1984 shows it being 10,000 days ago (if you view it before midnight on the 1st), but performing explicit ranges shows a different number.

If I were to say 1 day ago, I would mean yesterday, which would mean we were on day 2. Thus yesterday would have been day 10001.
