If you've been on Facebook lately then you should have a good idea of what planking is. Basically you lay flat as a board on top of strange objects, arms and legs straight, expressionless and then post a picture on Facebook. If you still don't follow then watch the video below and post you're own pictures here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRHnTFesv7c- for you ipod users) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRHnTFesv7c Here's a few planks I photographed: http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/250714_10150194864596434_548761433_7647112_2826230 _n.jpg http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/247998_10150267983184073_703279072_8934828_5350499 _n.jpg http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/228291_204204276283001_100000802919245_486092_1786 657_n.jpg

i gotta say im from the UK aswell and this is the first ive heard of it :/ It only became popular here in the last week because of a yahoo news story a month ago following the death of someone attempting to plank on a balcony. Now its the only thing you ever see on Facebook. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110515/wl_afp/australiafacebooksocialmediaplanking

It can be a bit dangerous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8xUGAnFo2Q Not trying to be a party killer. Do it if you want, just try not to die.

Someone died over it I believe, which is taking it a bit far, but if people use common sense, it's pretty funny. Having said tht, I can never think of anywhere interesting to do it

I don't understand this planking craze, not because it's stupid but because people have been doing it for years but only now is anyone taking notice Anyway here's the earliest one's I know of, from early 2005. http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/image.php?id=7q8ni&t=1 http://www.overclockers.com.au/pix/image.php?id=4ib8i&t=1

I read about this over a year ago back when it was the Lying Down Game... Now its just out of hand. Yes, it recently resurfaced in Australia and New Zealand as planking..... You can never destroy evil....... it simply evolves.....

Does face-planting and staying there count as a plank? And for a second, I thought you were talking about the workout type.

Over the last few days I've witnessed some amazing (and dangerous) planks: Fozzy first climbed the ladder, and then the pole to the side of the sign. http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/229361_213376782013405_100000232545957_868626_1681 990_n.jpg Same person, same day http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/228125_10150334149843849_673973848_9892710_7000730 _n.jpg The Bar, she has been raised

I doubt many of you are aware of this, but during a Wigan Warriors rugby game last weekend, one of the Wigan players was taken out in mid air, whilst he was diving for the try line. It caused him to be unconcious, but nobody realised at the time. Many other rival teams are now saying that the player In hand was actually cheating, although he wasn't, as he'd just taken a punch in mid air to the face. Theirs been many groups circulating facebook saying Tomkins faked it and they branded it as 'planking'. See what you think, the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqHwSA2gEkk Tomkins is actually a really good player, and it seems he can even score trys unconcious now. Just a little warning, it isn't for the faint of heart, watching it live... I felt it haa.

Just a little bit of information: -Years ago this was called lying down, meaning you don't get on your belly and and put your hands by your side; just lie down however. -Years before that it was called faking death, which in reality all people did was take photos in scenarios where they looked dead (ex. floating body in a swimming pool. Somehow, people just altered it again for the fun of it. It's not as popular in the US (surprisingly considering that the world expects us to jump on this type of thing), but I've been hearing a lot of it since April.

It's not as popular in the US (surprisingly considering that the world expects us to jump on this type of thing), but I've been hearing a lot of it since April. We have parkour. That's why. Though, if I were to show this to my school-mates, I'm quite certain they'd pick up on it.

Honestly... This seems kind of dumb. (OH C'MON... YOU'RE THINKING IT TOO!!!) Not because it seems stupid... But because of how they're doing it... So much more stuff can be done rather than just staying still... Which isn't much of a fear beater... Half of conquering the fear of heights is actually seeing how high you are... If your face is flat on the ground, you can't really see how high you are. (Double joke ) http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g397/Functionality/229361_213376782013405_100000232545957_868626_1681 990_n.jpg Take this pic for instance. He could have been walking on top of there or just sitting smoking a pipe or something that says, "Yeah, I'm here... What of it." Just a little bit of information: -Years ago this was called lying down, meaning you don't get on your belly and and put your hands by your side; just lie down however. -Years before that it was called faking death, which in reality all people did was take photos in scenarios where they looked dead (ex. floating body in a swimming pool. Somehow, people just altered it again for the fun of it. It's not as popular in the US (surprisingly considering that the world expects us to jump on this type of thing), but I've been hearing a lot of it since April. Based off of what Cyber said here... At least the guy acted dead in a pool. A little bit of twisted humor, but it had a point. Hmm... Next is probably going to be standing in awkward places... Like standing on a bench, on top of a fence, or a guy eating his dinner on top of his house... With a candle, table, chair, and a full meal. <<< THAT would be awesome to see. Heck... A whole group having a party on a house.

It's one of the most retarded things I've seen lately, and to be honest anyone who gets injured doing it fully deserves the pain.

It's one of the most retarded things I've seen lately, and to be honest anyone who gets injured doing it fully deserves the pain. If everyone did accept planking as normal behaviour, then I would be concerned. Your reaction (that of the majority) has made the most sense in this thread to date and if people such as yourself were not around to remind everyone just how retarded it is, than it would be amusing to no one. It is strange, that's the appeal :/

Planking + Parkour = Plankour? Parking? Is it even possible?!

Planking + Parkour = Plankour? Parking? Is it even possible?! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. lol not really but it gave me an idea, plank sideways at the top of a hallway. (climb the walls with your hands and feet and then put your head on one wall and feet on the other and plank there at the top) I work at a hibachi place. That would be really funny to plank between the grills while there was a fireball coming off of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tPPnBdHyUQ&

Oh i heard babout planking ages ago mainly because i live in america but also because of the news stories about idiots hurting themselves trying to do dangerous planking stunts and just like everything else it only takes one idiot to really hurt himself or kill himself to give something a bad rep so when that idiot in austrailia fell off his balcony when trying to plank on it everyone stopped thinking of planking as a funny thing and started thinking of it as a dangerous stunt

We see it is a fun thing, and it's always fun to see people's reactions when you're planking on weird places. So everyone doesn't think of it as a dangerous stunt, but maybe the majority does.

So everyone doesn't think of it as a dangerous stunt, but maybe the majority does. I think it's kinda of funny and laugh too when someone does it in the grocery store or at the mall, but some people take it to the extreme. Like doing it in the highway or a really high balcony or fence or like this family here. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3RencSVa2Xg/TesMJgAf_5I/AAAAAAAAAbI/nO7IcPbpnsM/Planking.jpg

You're aware that's photoshopped right? Are you serious? You think it might be chopped? No way, it has to be real. I can tell by the pixels and by having done a few photoshops in my time. ... :|
