Thanks papa for another mega-easy twenty Question's round, ;) - it was fast
and fun. :)
And so i have gained, through no great effort on my part, the right to set
the next rounds secret subject. Here goes:

Q1 Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?
A1 Mineral.

32 responses total.

Q2: Is it a naturally-occurring substance?

A2: No. 

Q3: Is it commonly consumed by humans?

A3: No.

Q4: Is it a machine?

If you stretch the definition of machine, then:
A4 Yes.

Q5: Do human beings wear it?

A5: No!

Ok first clue: 
Just in case i mislead you by saying: "if you stretch the definition of
machine..." It is a machine, albeit a small one, but an everyday machine we
all use, in the house or office. I have a few of these, of various sizes, for
doing various jobs - of a similar nature. :) 

Q6: Is it attached to something larger, or is it an independent object?

A6: It 'is' an independant object.

#if this one goes
#to twenty.

Q7: Is it a kind of hand tool?

A7: Yes! A good question.

It is a handtool.

Wait... is that the answer, problem solved, or do we question further?

Well your getting hot, but what type of handtool is this 'everyday' item? :)
Just a few more guesses maybe, Question 8 next.

Been waiting for someone to make the next guess.

me too :)

Q8: Does this hand tool get used up, or does it last more-or-less
indefinitely?

Sorry, that's not quite a yes/no question. Let it read:
Q8: Does this hand tool get used up, as opposed to lasting more or less
indefinitely?

A8: No! :)
(this handtool normally lasts a lifetime, if looked after)

Q9: Is it a screwdriver?

A9: No. 
Think Kitchen and office, 'and' workshop.

Was that a shot in the dark tfurrows? 

Did I do that?? :) Now I have to post a guess... even though I'm not coming
up with anything so far.
Q10: Does it have moving parts?

A10: Yes, it does have moving parts.

Is it scissors?

Ahhh :) In eleven questions.
A11: Yes, it is scissors. 
I thought after papa's excellent subject, and i cannot get that shark out of
my mind - an awesome animal: papa: its an - edumicational experience this
twenty questions sometimes :) - i thought i would give you an easy one,
something that was on the table after papa graciously let me have the last
round. 
A pretty good shot in the dark tfurrows. 
And now over to you!

Congratulations, tfurrows!

And good puzzle, mijk. The target doesn't have to be something obscure to be
a challenge to zero-in with guesses.

Looking forward to the next round.

Thank you papa. 
Like i said round 5's subject was just mindblowing. I learnt something that
day i will not forget.
