But in the old days, you know what a Polaroid camera is, I mean, when they first came out,

0:23.6

they were a big deal, that you could actually develop the picture in the camera and you'd

0:28.9

have your picture in like 60 seconds. And that was a big, big deal. But he would aim the camera,

0:35.0

the lens of the camera at his third eye, you know, right in the middle of his forehead. And he could

0:41.1

take a picture of what he was thinking about. Bizarre at the very least. That doesn't make sense.

2:27.8
