====== Member doppelgangers ======

A very long-standing [[running jokes#running joke]] on AH.com which goes back at least to 2005, and probably dates from the posting of the [[How do you look?]] thread. 

Members are often said to resemble:

  - Each other
  - Celebrities
  - People encountered by other members in daily life
  - Historical figures

Some members have many more doppelgangers than others...

=== Flocculencio ===

[[Flocculencio]]'s doubles are known as "Flocculgangers". They include a American news reporter, an Indian Bollywood star, and someone Thande once saw in a hotel lobby in Cambridge. Flocc embraced his brothers by putting them all on a poster with the slogan "SPRING JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT FLOCC-IER!"
It has been suggested that Flocc resmbles a certain Iranian Armoured-Dinner-Jacket.

=== Hendryk ===
 
[[Hendryk]]'s duplicates, dubbed Hendryklones, have been seen in a number of places - a French news reporter, someone out of the U.S. version of //The Office// (Dwight?), a bloke [[Calgacus]] met in a pub in [[Scotland]] (who even liked China, too), and a bloke [[MrP]] knew at uni (who spent last year in Chinae and Mongolia). 

=== luakel ===

[[luakel]] does not actually have any noted duplicates, but [[luakel clones]] are a separate running joke often conflated with this one.

=== Doctor What ===

[[Doctor What]]'s lookey-likeys include Jeff Goldblum, Miltos Yerolemou and Colonel Gaddafi - the latter's employment of a bodyguard consisting of young karate-chopping female virgins in skintight uniforms also suggests a certain similarity of views.

=== Archangel Michael ===

Resembles [[EvolvedSaurian]] and Rasputin. Not the member called [[Rasputin]], the //actual// Rasputin.

"Now we know why it took so many tries to kill Rasputin: he was the Goddamn Archangel."
-[[Roberto]]

=== Scarecrow ===

Looks like several other members.

=== Douglas ===

Used to resemble Boris Johnson, now looks more like Bill Gates.

=== Roberto ===

According to [[Wanderlust]], Roberto could "now you could be Prince Harry's double". Also Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter films.

=== Steffen ===

Looks like the Milky Bar Kid, and Bill Gates.

=== The Dean ===

Resembles Mikhail Gorbachev, a likeness which has been separately noted by three people.

=== Thande ===

Recently, a number of 'Doppelthanders' have been pointed out, including an Indian bloke known by one of the Americans, someone [[Fellatio Nelson]] had a photo of, and [[DelawareConfederate#EvolvedLupine]]. [[elle-jay]] has advanced a theory that there is a Thande in every nation and culture, based on the fact that she knows the Irish edition, and so it's a bit like CMOT Dibbler in Discworld.

=== Lord Roem ===

Even more recently, [[Lord Roem]] has come to dominate the market, with almost everyone running into literally thousands of 'Roem Clones' on a regular basis.

Given the resemblance of some members to historical figures and various heads of state/potential heads of state it has been suggested that AH.com may attempt/have attempted (given Archangel Michael's possible demise back in 1915) a take over by replacing said notables with AH.commers.
