Here are some more riddles!  How do I add the answer but hide it?

I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never
released, and yet I am used by almost everybody.    
 
What goes round the house and in the house but never touches the house?    
 
What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else?    
   
 What gets wet when drying?
 
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?    

What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn't fill it up?    
 
There were five men going to church and it started to rain. The four that ran got wet and the one that stood still stayed dry.

A towel.


What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?   

Is it the letter "M" ?


I'm still working on the others.  Cheesy

Shin -- well for that first one, you can use it to figure out things for technology, but often don't so much anymore...

And, for that keeping it one, I bet you do!

ok -- some hints?

the first one -- think writing implements

the second -- think about why we need curtains on hot days

the second to last -- it can't be filled because it is meant to separate the liquid from the solids

the last -- one is prone...
