According to Wikipedia (which I think is the appropriate source for a definition in this case), planking is "the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank. It has its origins in the 'lying down game.'" Apparently it originated in Australia and became a fad in 2011. I know it sounds dumb and, make no mistake, it is dumb. But it still makes me laugh just like a streaker, although it doesn't typically break any laws. So the deal is that you take a picture laying down like a plank in different public places and sometimes have more than one person participating. Then you post it online. So, here are some examples:
So it's dumb, right? And yet, I really find myself wondering where I will plank first because the urge is overcoming me!

This is so funny. I have never heard of this either. And just this afternoon, my 16 year old neighbor sent me a picture of him on facebook "planking" on Jack's swing in our front yard. I otherwise would have had no idea what he was doing. Thanks for keeping me informed about all the cool trends. Who knew?
Every day I am reminded of just how old and uncool I am since I had no idea what you were talking about. But, I found this quite hilarious which made me glad that I still have a sense of humor.
Let's see, where might I do this?.....
