    At exactly 3:00, there is a man wearing a hat. What is that hat called, and what people wear it?

    The house looks nice, too, if anyone knows the type of architecture.

    Don't know about the house, but the hat looks like a common felt hat or town hat, also known as fedora.

    The hat is conical.
    The Japanese wear a conical hat called a non-la.
    Wizards wear them too.

    Four Golden conical hats have been found in central Europe.
    Thought to be ceremonial.

    This is the Avanton Golden hat from France c1000 BC

    well

    Any kid here in Pennsylvania wear similar hat, and you can get them in our Farmer Market for 5 dollars or so. BUT if we turn the time back, this is a Inca hat. When I went to Peru that's the hat wore by the peasants in the Market, multicolored... and very heavy knitted with llama wool...

    Looks like an Alpine hat - as Signal mentioned, worn by Germans, Austrians, Swiss, &tc.

    The architectural style is called Fachwerk -

    ps: That song is somewhat irritating.

    It's no golden ticket, though.

    Great! Cuz I don't have one. And if I did, I would have only bought it as a gag gift, and probably thrown it away or sold it to some schmuck. I certainly would never have worn it! Stupid golden hat... stupid DODO hat!

    At approximately 3:00 is Red Green. Or Michael Chertoff with a beard.
    But more to the point, that video was just a little disturbing. Didn't watch it before.
    I'm glad the little buggers were chased out of the forest.
