Funny Behaviour

Tamar, a friend of mine, alerted me to this funny behaviour.
can anyone tell me why the following code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(21 - 5.45);
Console.WriteLine(21 - 20.45);
Console.Read();
}
produces this:
15.55
0.550000000000001
This happens in C#,VB.NET and VB6. What's going on here?
