You're just winding me up now or should that be "meandering me up"?
I'd cross myself before going over Niagara Falls but the river doesn't although you did get the right continent.

I can't think of a river that naturally crosses itself, however your question reminded me of an aquaduct on the Pecos River in New Mexico (I think), built so that the local farmers could tap the water in the river. AIUI the aquaduct circles round and crosses the river.

I was going to give the answer Tamarrow (Saturday) but now that would be 0 use as you are absolutely correct, google the Carlsbad Flume for more info' and a streaming video.
Thanks for saving me from having to think up any more puns (although I had a few in reserve including the Hawaiian Goose), it's now your turn...

Oh wow. I was so convinced I would be wrong I didn't prepare a question, or come back. Sorry for the delay, however it's an open floor.

Well they are cloud chamber tracks of alpha and beta particles and gamma rays superimposed on a tear(?), could it be for survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs?

Is it awarded in recognition of work in the field of medical physics?
Correct, it was the medal awarded to those who had to clean up the immediate aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, many with no idea what they were really dealing with.
One specific name. And if you can why?
Sorry mate, not what I am looking for.
Fraid not mate. If you get the right Knight Of The Round Table there are photos on the Wikipedia entry relevant to my question.

Nah mate, getting colder.
If you get the ship/name and not the connection you can still have it. The name is a Knight of the Round table and a ship that was in the Falklands and also a ship that was in Um Qasr in the second Gulf War.

Afraid not.
Only kidding. Spot on. The replacement Sir Galahad was the first ship to dock at Um Qasr to drop off humanitarian aid during the second Gulf War after having a path cleared for it by minesweepers. As far as I know it was in fact the first big ship to dock there at all but that said I am not sure how the Marines who cleared the dockyard first got there. Either way when my mate arrived there on Sir Galahad he said whoever was there before appeared to have left pretty quickly.
The round table is yours.
Ask another one mate. My mind is blank. Your floor.

Mike Myers, because he was doing Shrek?

What about Tim Allen? He played a spaceship captain in Galaxy Quest so he was qualified to tell Kif how to drive the Nimbus and destroy peaceful civilisations but he was involved with Toy Story at the time playing Buzz Lightyear which would have been a clash of characters.
