Image title	Professor Stephen Hawking unveils The Corpus Clock, seen behind him, a new installation at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, England, Friday, Sept. 19, 2008. Professor Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time, was guest of honour at a ceremony to mark the creation of The Corpus Clock, which cost more than 1 million pounds (US$1.8 million) to build and erect in Cambridge. The "Corpus clock" is the brainchild of inventor John Taylor, who used his own money to build it, in part to pay homage to the genius of John Harrison, the Englishman who in 1725 invented the "grasshopper" escapement _ a mechanical device that helps regulate a clock's movement. Making a visual pun on the grasshopper image, Taylor has designed a fantasy version of a grasshopper at the top of the clock face, and uses this beast _ with its long needle teeth and barbed tail _ as an integral part of the clockworks. Its jaws begin to open halfway through a minute, then snap shut at 59 seconds. The creature's eyes, usually a dull green, occasionally flash bright yellow. The oversize grasshopper is called a chronophage, or "time eater." (AP Photo/Chris Radburn/PA) UNITED KINGDOM OUT NO SALES NO ARCHIVE
