The masses of the Z and W particle sum almost exactly to the mass of the Top quark,within the errors:

Z + W = 80.385±0.015 + 91.1876±0.0021 = 171.57 ±0.0171 GeV

Top quark 172.9± 1.5 GeV

A: Is this one of those simple coincidences?

B: The Z,W particles are decays of the T?

C: Someone has a not too cranky idea connecting them?

EDIT: After consideration of dmckee and Lubos posts.

How about instead of a decay from a t quark, collide a $W^\pm$ and a $Z$ to produce a red top and anti-red bottom.

$$W^+ + Z^0 \to t(r) + \bar{b}(\bar{r})$$

this conserves charge, spin, color, confinement and energy - provided the excess energy of the bottom quark comes from the kinetic term of the collision. It immediately decays as lubos and dmckee pointed out in an early question

EDIT 2: Also note decay time of t-quark is $4.2\ 10^{-25} s$, nearly matching the W,Z decays times of $3.0\ 10^{-25} s$ , although I'm yet to find an uncertainty for these.

And with incredible hubris I'm calling this the Metzgeer Momentary Meson $t\bar{b} $
