"Planking" photos

"Planking" is the latest internet craze.

It involves a person lying face-down, completely straight. The "planker" places their arms by their side and keeps their legs straight and still, removing all signs of facial expression.

Photos of the "planker" are then taken and uploaded to social networking sites on the internet for all to see.

Here are some shots of "planking" in action.

If you don't have a little bit of spare time do do something that will make you laugh then whats the point of life, yes it's a tragedy that a life has been lost but that is indeed the affects of alcohol...you don't make sensible choices at the time. I say there is something harmful in every minute of life and planking makes that life more exciting...i planked this morning and it was great!

The Neanderthals and inhabitants of Atlantis shared a great tradition of Planking... it's kinda self regulating it'd seem. Ga'head... It's a start
