lol, yep simply plug the headphone cable into the mic socket, it works, not briliantly but it does work! However why not just buy a cheap microphone, you'll get better quality.

it will either have a very small mic inscribed next to it (mic), or it will have an arrow pointing into a circle (line in)

usually in the back of a computer, or the side of a laptop
