I just noticed that $B_{2n}(\frac12+ix)\in\mathbb R$, where:
$x\in\mathbb R$, $n\in\mathbb N$, and $B_n(x)$ is the $n$th Bernoulli Polynomial.
Why? Is there a simple, slick proof? Does it follow from one of the common identities for the Bernoulli polynomials?
I noticed this because one identity for the polylogarithm functions involves $B_n(\frac12+ix)$ in a context where $x\in\mathbb R$ must yield a real number:
$$\operatorname{Li}_n(z)+(-1)^n\operatorname{Li}_n(1/z)=-\frac{(2\pi i)^n}{n!}B_n\left(\frac12+\frac{\ln(-z)}{2\pi i}\right).$$
Letting $z=-e^{-2\pi x}$ and taking $n$ even shows that $B_{2n}(\frac12+ix)\in\mathbb R$. So one approach would be to prove the above identity, but this seems convoluted, requires proving things about the polylogarithm functions, and doesn't seem to offer any intuition for what's going on.
