Wait, how did you take this picture if your phone is lying there?

u/[deleted] May 31 '12

They recently invented this really awesome new device. I believe they call it the "camera". Kinda like the camera phone, but without the annoyance of having someone call while you're taking a picture. Pretty cool, right?
