Planking Fad

My sister came home one night and told me about this whole planking thing.


According to Wikipedia:



Planking or the lying down game is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play.The term planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank.

Many participants of planking since 2011 have photographed the activity on unusual locations such as atop poles, roofs and vehicles, while some "plankers" engage in the activity by planking only their upper body and feet while leaving the back suspended.


Planking was also featured on TV:

My sister showed me pictures of her friends "Planking":
Julius Matalog Planking on top shelf
Mitch Calvan Planking inside mobile bus

Antoni Eusebio Planking on a piece of wood
Ivan Pajares Planking on top of cabinet

What's the weirdest place to "Plank"?
