I used it, then it vanished.
The day of date calculator.
I'm now offered the difference between two dates, or how many years, months, days old I am but the nifty little 'What day was . . .' has vanished after using it once.
I happen to know what day I was born. Wednesday. In the Phoney War. Not a good start to life this being beset with Woe.
Anyway, just spent 20 mins looking at why it won't do it again, and even the Geek How to shows a much better lot of selections than I'm being offered now.
Is it a joke? Get you all excited in how you can impress folk you're talking to by knowing the day of any date they care to mention . . . and then finding you can't.
I wonder what I'd have achieved if computers hadn't been invented.

You can do this pretty easily in Excel - as I recall:-)
And presumably in Libre Office.
Just tried excel and by typing the dates in as
a1 -> "23 may 2016"
b1 -> "23 june 2016"
Excel recognised the entries as dates.
and in an adjacent cell "=b1-a1"
poof - presto done.
Cells were automatically sorted out with correct everything to display days between.
23-May-16 23-May-17 365

Thanks, that's a fix for getting results, but I want to assuage my feelings of being persecuted by the dæmons in my computer. Why me??!! Why, when I find things I like, are they warped into another universe never to be attainable again? Aaaaaaagh!
