Jun 16, 2017 at 17:27 comment added T. Amdeberhan Yes, it is cool. Thanks for the kind words too.
Jun 16, 2017 at 17:10 comment added efs I doubt it is related. I just rememberd this because of the title. Beautiful identity bt the way.
Jun 16, 2017 at 17:07 comment added T. Amdeberhan Yes, that is rather curious. I'm not sure of its immediate impact here.
Jun 16, 2017 at 16:57 comment added efs Just a curiosity. All Bernoulli polyomials of odd degree have the 0, 1 and 1/2 as "trivial" roots. The only known Bernoulli polyomial of odd degree that has "non-trivial" roots is $B_{11}(x)$, whose "non-trivial" roots are the golden ratio and its conjugate.

Jun 15, 2017 at 10:06 comment added Nemo @T.Amdeberhan , are there any typos in this question? Did you check this result numerically?

Jun 15, 2017 at 2:20 comment added KConrad The right side is $-(2/\sqrt{5})\log((1+\sqrt{5})/2)$, which is $-{\rm Res}_{s=1}\zeta_{\mathbf Q(\sqrt 5)}(s)$. On the left side, $-B_{j+1}/(j+1) = -\zeta(-j)$. Not sure what you can do with that, but suggests you should negate both sides.
