stupid question how do you take screen shots

[thedicemaster]

it depends on your rom and device.
cyanogenmod based roms have an optional button you can add to your power menu.
several devices also support screenshots by holding the home and power buttons at the same time.
some tablets have a dedicated screenshot button next to the multi-task button.
Samsung galaxy note devices also have 2 s-pen gestures: hold the s-pen button while long-pressing the screen for a full screenshot, draw a circle instead of long-pressing to only take a screenshot of the circled part of the screen.

and otherwise there's always the option of a screenshot app.
