what is planking, might you ask? performance art/sport/weird thing people do that involves laying prone in strange places. seriously. so uh, apparently it's all the rage in australia.
some idiot died from trying to plank his balcony and... wait for it... falling off of it.
so are they bored in australia or what?

I thought this was gonna be similar to pegging.
I'm kinda disappointed, but kinda not... That dude does NOT look comfortable.

1. Laying down in public? Homeless people and drunks do that all the time.
2. Planking sounds incredibly dirty.
3. Reminds me of pole-sitting which was popular in the 20's, and if it was popular then, it must be incredibly boring by modern standards(with the exception of pulp fiction and opium).
4. Pole-sitting sounds even dirtier than planking.

it must be great practice for playing dead when the herd of poisonous spider-bat-snake monsters rolls into town

Just do normal stuff to pass the time like Americans do. Like auto erotic asphyxiation. Xenophobia is a fun one too. Also, knitting.

if you're up too high when you're planking, it could lead to a fatal case of plonking.
and here i was all day, thinking this thread was about cooking fish on a barbeque between pieces of wood

Ha, that's great!
Really though, what the fuck is wrong with people? Death by "planking" has got to be one of the more idiotic forms of demise.
