After a two-day blizzard in December of 2010, the inflatable roof of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome began to leak and sink before finally collapsing under the weight of incessant snow. Video footage of the fall from inside the dome went viral, stunning football fans nationwide. Rather than bemoaning the loss, local sports fan Guy Nelson decided to find a way to preserve the rich history of the arena, which had hosted many historic games of baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and foam-finger keep away. To do this, as well as prevent tons of Teflon material rotting in a landfill, he purchased the salvageable slices of the fallen roof and turned them into limited-edition memorabilia of past stars, championships, and the dome itself.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
