What is planking?

Oh yeah planking, hehe. Planking is when you lie face down with your hands along the sides of your body in the most weird places. A photo is then taken and posted on the internet. The more unusual the place the better. It can be very dangerous though. Some people have tried planking on the edge of a balcony and hell yes has it gone wrong a few times already with people falling of off the edge and dying or getting severely injured. Fads and hypes like that begin on sites like reddit.com :)

Planking is the lying down game, you think planking is stupid? No, it is quite fun and challenging for bored teenager who has nothing else to do. Seriously, you should try planking in public and see how to public will react to you. Last time my friend and I used to plank in public together and have 2 other friends record us. You should really look at their expression, its so funny! At first we decide to plank for 30 minutes with the phone alarm set to it. But the security guard saw is and call us to get up. He said "If you wanna attract attention, please don't do it at the mall!" We only manage to plank for 18 minutes. Hahaha, I dare you to plank in public!!
