Hmm… in that case. In a freak accident, the restaurant where John Paul Stevens, Ted Stevens, Amy Winehouse, Mary-Kate Olsen, Liza Minelli, Janet Jackson, Jade Goody, Bob Barker, Tony Curtis, Ron White, Tim Conway, Eminem, and Eddie Van Halen were all dining was hit by a cement truck. Tragically, there were no survivors.
