A neat bit of Googling

Red Crucifix sighting in 774 may have been supernova

Short version:  a guy in California reads the recent story about a spike in carbon 14 in trees around 775AD, but no one knows of a supernova report around the time.  He Googles a bit and finds a possible candidate.

It's not quite up there with my putting two and two together about 18th century resuscitation methods, but it's close.   :)
