I just discovered it but apparently it's been around for a while and this past year has become viral so to speak, and has spread worldwide.
Let me explain for those who haven't heard of it yet... it doesn't make sense or have any point but I think it's funny...
You lie face down, with your body straight, arms at your sides, hands and feet pointed, imitating a plank of wood. You try and come up with the most creative place to do it... in a tree, on a street light, in the highway, on a shelf, in the oven, wherever the heck you can do it without killing yourself...
Now you got to have someone take a pic of you (in most cases) and share it on the Internet... such as Plankforum.com.
This was started in England... which sounds about right, lol 
I really see no point to this other than entertainment and doing something stupid for fun. Which means I'm going to have to go find some good places to plank.  Pics to come..... maybe

Saw this on a sports show. Some football players were doing it, BUt, they were stacking the planks, meaning that they were lying on each other like a stack of lumber.....
not in my lifetime...lol

It's pretty dumb, but slightly funny at the same time. A cheap laugh from time to time. It'll die quick death.
