"Plankers"

If your so lucky that you haven't heard about the new fad sweeping the nation, you would be one of the few.  'Planking' is when you lie across an object like a 'plank' of wood and... well thats it. Although I can understand where doing it once or twice would be fun, I really don't see the amusement of doing it again and again.  Yeah no doubt planking somewhere that nobody has ever planked before would make you feel cool.. but it would last for about a millisecond and then you would just be a weirdo lying on something looking like a fool.


Planking is not a new thing, its been going on in social networking site Tumblr for a while, yet only now that Facebook has got it's hands on it has it become a sensation.  Maybe your one of the areas who this activity will completely miss out, lucky you.  I can barely walk to the local shops without seeing someone lying across a fence or a pillar, and quite frankly, they look ridiculous!

I really wish I had no ties to this place, but as Planking takes my home city by storm, the least I can do is have a laugh about it!
