WHO? WHAT?WHY?: WHAT is Planking?
Planking is also know as the lying down game. The rules of the game is that the individual takes a picture of themselves and lying face-down and with their arms positioned rigidly to the side. It has become widely popular because of the locations players choose to plank. The location of the planking needs to be as public as possible so that the other plankers will dare to themselves to find a much more "public" places to get more likes on their planking.
Planking was claim to be created by this guy named, Tom Green in 1994. Planking grown its popularity in Australia where there has been huge media coverage. It started off with an Australian rugby league player David "Wolfman" Williams celebrates scoring by planking, while another nation's leading chat-show hosts Kerri-Anne Kennerley opened one of her show by planking.
The growth of planking is a "meme" [an idea that goes viral online and becomes a global trend]. An example will be flash-mobbing. The essence of Planking is not just lying stiff but just posing at an unexpected place. It needs to focus on the humorous side of Planking and not the dangerous and extreme Planking as it may result to death.

Earlier today, me and my few other friends were at Jaya One having a drink and I was telling them about Planking. Most of them do not know what Planking is, so I decided to show them and asked them to try it out. We even came out with the idea of a double-stack-up Planking. A new way to Plank in a way. :] Or more like creating a new planking style where no other plankers had tried, I think. Its my first time trying out this game and it takes courage to do it as the rules said it needs to be as public as possible. But it was fun doing it with my friends. Additional memoirs into our friendship.
Below is the picture of us Planking:
