You know, most of the time when I get questions like these, I just look in the dictionary, or an etymology dictionary :p
Online Etymology Dictionary
As it turns out, the phrase "dead ringer" comes from the term referring to entering a competition under false pretenses. That meaning has a more complicated origin which you can find at the link.

Oh, well than screw Ermir, now that I know there is an on line dictionary, who needs anyone who's specialized in research.

See there? The wingnuts were right! Allowing teh ghey to marry necessitates the conclusion that there's a constitutional right to fuck miniature donkeys!

Is it wrong of me to wonder whether Mr. Romero was married to his ass?

Ok, here's a story that for once isn't embarrassing (or at least, not because of the people): Florida man saves six-year-old from alligator by PUNCHING IT IN THE FACE!
