Answering to myself because I noticed how powerful the google graphing was, so..

Just paste in this y=0.9994355774568318-0.00035668306234655186*x+0.00000218474273138185*x^2+5.8403793405e-9*x^3-2.780101081e-11*x^4+3.144563e-14*x^5, y=1.0002556612420115-0.0003115084635183305*x+0.00000227808965401253*x^2+1.91596422989e-9*x^3-8.78421542e-12*x^4+6.77746e-15*x^5 from 0 to 500 and google will give two nice plots for your polynomials for the Wikipedia data vs the baue.org data. Of course, the Wikipedia data was for 300K, and the baue.org data didn't give a temperature. So they might both be "correct", just at different temperature points. Regardless, they are certainly close enough that any difference doesn't really *matter* to us.
