Lookalikes: Nouriel Roubini and Linus Van Pelt

Lookalikes: Nouriel Roubini and Linus Van Pelt

Not sure why this hasn't occurred to me before. I've certainly seen Roubini (aka, Dr. Doom) enough on CNBC. But the light bulb went off this morning.

It's not just the resemblance (the gourd-like head shape, the unkempt hair) -- Roubini and Linus also share a reputation for doing their fair share of pontificating. Which is one reason I found it surprising to learn that Roubini is apparently such a player.
