Gigi's Logic Puzzles

Imagine you're in Cartoonland. Okay, maybe calculus class isn't the perfect place to be imagining this, but then again, maybe it is. Especially if you're as sleep-deprived as the mathNEWSies usually are on Production Night. Anyway, there are six guys walking across campus (separately, cuz AAAA). At some point in their journeys, each of them passes a tree. As they pass, an object falls out of the tree and injures them. (A few friends of mine suggested this would be an extremely amusing concept after they heard the joke in the first clue. All the names were also given to me by these same people.) Your task is to match each person with the object that fell on them, their injury, and the order in which they passed the Tree of Extreme Unluck.

1. Q: What's green and fuzzy and falls out of a tree? A: A pool table. It fell immediately after the coke machine.
2. The only person to get up and walk away from the Tree uninjured is Drew's mom. She fell out of the tree, and landed on George O'Hanaranahan.
3. The object which fell fifth, caused the broken leg.
4. Jobber LeBag walked past the Tree after Rodriguez Paligenguza, and before the Ghost of Winston Churchill.
5. One person was hit by a maple key immediately before a tree fell out of the Tree.
6. When the umpire called 'safe', Mordecai McNaab was hit by a falling object. No, it wasn't a baseball, it was a safe. (Hey, this is cartoonland ya gotta get hit by a falling safe.)
7. The coke machine fell on someone before another person got a broken leg.
8. George O'Hanaranahan walked past the Tree before the person who received a concussion (which was not Heywood Jablone).
9. Noone was hit by a piano, unfortunately. That would make a neat noise.
10. The person who was hit by the pool table is dead.
11. The person who got the light bruise is not the person who was hit by the maple key.
12. Mordecai McNaab did not get a broken leg.
13. The falling tree didn't break anyone's ribs, and did not hit Heywood Jablone.
14. Drew's mom fell after the safe (which was not second).
15. Parading Pink elephants are the result of too much champagne.
16. The bruised person passed the tree before the dismembered person, and after the guy with the broken ribs.
17. Jobber LeBag was not dismembered.
18. When Heywood Jablone passed the Tree, he found a dead body, a dismembered (but otherwise alive) person, and a guy with all of his ribs cracked (but otherwise uninjured).
19. George O'Hanaranahan laughed at the person who got bruised... until he was the one to pass the Tree.
20. Rodriguez Paligenguza was not hit by a maple key, did not have his ribs cracked, and was not the first person to pass the Tree (and none of these things are necessarily connected either).
21. The Ghost of Winston Churchill is not dead. (And neither is Elvis.)
