Did You Know?
"Time consuming" means taking a lot of time, while eating a clock literally consumes time! Modern clocks contain gears, springs, circuits, and batteries - none of which are edible! The phrase "time-consuming" emerged in the mid-1900s. Obviously, you should never actually eat a clock - it would be dangerous! The world's oldest working clock is from 1386 in England's Salisbury Cathedral!
