I'm more inclined to believe that some dumbass just got it wrong one day, and their efforts to justify it after the fact instead of just admitting their mistake allowed it to worm its way into a fail-infused limbo of general usage, along with "for all intensive purposes" and "here, here".
Either way, it serves no purpose that the original phrase didn't satisfy, sarcasm in text usually fails anyway - as evidenced by the plethora of explanatory "/sarcasm" tags all over this site destroying what little hope of humorous effect their preceding statements might have had - and it's annoying to the point of bordering on grammar-trolling. Seriously, how many times does this debate have to take place? It's time to end the madness.
Cancer is, far as I can tell, pretty much always the result of multiple risk factors, and urban air pollution is a huge one, as are genetic predisposition (your family history sounds promising) and general immune function, which has its own set of influences. If you cut out a bunch of other shit (industrial pollutants, refined sugars, stress etc.), I don't see why you couldn't lower your risk by as much as smoking raises it.
Incidentally, regular ejaculation can have a positive effect on your prostate cancer risk, so if the Surgeon General *really* cares about your health, then blowing you might not be a bad idea...
Recent worldwide economic conditions have raped the Australian dollar right through its pants. It's going to be quite a long time until AU$300 is 'just under' US$300 again...
My mother used to mix dried seaweed into stir-fries. I hated the stuff as a kid, but I've gotten over all my other childhood food issues (except olives) so it might taste ok now.
I got worried about shark-jumping too, which hurts, since I *want* to love this show.
However, All Along The Watchtower is a new arrangement by composer Bear McCreary, and neither the Dylan nor the Hendrix version. From Wikipedia:
A somewhat Indian-themed version of the 1967 Bob Dylan song "All Along the Watchtower" features prominently in the third season... McCreary's arrangement utilizes the electric sitar, harmonium, duduk, yayli tanbur, electric violin and zurna, and features McCreary's brother Brendan "Bt4" McCreary and former Oingo Boingo guitarist Steve Bartek.
I think 'visual thinker' is often a euphemism for 'poor literacy.' That said, I have known people with quite incredible visualisation and spatial thinking abilities; the sorts who can take a glance at this, work out in a fraction of a second that it will form this, and if each face is numbered, be able to tell you if two given numbers on the edges of the flattened shape will touch each other or not.

The Guitar Hero controller has more buttons than the total number of guitar strings in that band.

Also, I'm led to believe that GP's mother is overweight... although if it's due to a glandular condition I retract this statement unconditionally.
He must be one or the other - they can't both be right.

The Australian supreme court might have a different opinion on the gravity of your drawings.
So they decided to show everyone that they don't know how to make pizza instead?
This has been an ongoing issue for decades. My mother told me that the worst pizza she ever had in her life was in Rome in the '60s.

That's a very sexy learning disability you have there.
Was your friend perhaps the American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Your Liberal Party is actually left of centre? Australia has so much to learn from you...

For someone who thinks they might have cancer and is waiting to find out, on the other hand...

Wouldn't that be fundament milliner? That's where I get my asshats...
Australian resident here, what's the difference between a 401k and a 403b? Never heard of the latter.
Dammit, he could have been Dr. Mickey Mouse =(
