Edited to add the "equals". Originally had an "=" sign, but that doesn't show up in title lines.

I used to think it was not a coincidence that this is the freezing point of mercury -- but actually Hg freezes a degree or so higher. It really is just coincidence.
(Equal signs don't show up in post titles any more, for those wondering about the title. -40°C = -40°F)
