is there an easy and obvious way to work this out that doesn't involve counting off on a calendar? (i am feeling very unbrainy today)

(just fill in the 1001 days, you don't have to calculate how many years/months that is)
Use the Julian Day, add 1001, then convert back to calendar day.

I always use Excel. You can use a formula to add days to a date.
Stick 14/08/2007 in cell A1 then in B1 stick =A1+1001 and hit enter, and it'll tell you 11/05/2010.

So timeanddate.com is wrong?

oh wait - you used today as an example, I used next Tuesday.
very good idea, though, that excel.

These are the kind of mad "skillz" I have - knowing tricks like that in Excel. Not very skilled, eh?
