What the plank?!

So I've recently been highly and most exceedingly confused as to what this new fad (yes...fad) is, that I've heard referred to as planking. Good thing wikipedia has all the answers...


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.[1] Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play.[1] The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank.
Since 2011, many participants in planking 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.

Haha! Brandon's dad introduced us to this weird phenomenon. He even took a planking picture when we were out there in May.
