Exactly. April 5, 1006 was not actually April 5, 1006, so it doesn't count. This is due to the switch from the Jacobian to the Gregorian calendar that occured in 1582, when to solar calendar was shifted by 10 days.
And by April 5, 3006, we will all be living on Alpha Centuri and the Gregorian calendar will cease to have any real meaning, so April 5, 3006 won't ever really exist either (I am willing to bet an entire mortgage payment on this one - go ahead, I dare you to prove me wrong!!!)
