top quark and Z,W bosons?

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 grand coincidences?

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

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