You Ozzies are a crazy lot...

Planking?

I don't know if you all are crazy fun or just board out of your minds.

(pun intended)

I read about that yesterday. Very odd hobby.

I swear someone posted this somewhere else on the board a day or two ago.

But this goes back to the UK in '06 (Know Your Meme: The Lying Down Game (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lying-down-game#.TdbdK0fd58F)) and may or may not be related to the similar and even earlier trend in Japan, Playing Dead (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/playing-dead#.Tdbdlkfd58F)


(incidentally, Know Your Meme is one of my favorite things on the internet)

I knew doing planks (http://yoga.about.com/od/yogaposes/a/plank.htm) couldn't be good for me!

I do planks most mornings, but now I can't do 'em without laughing. (Yeah, planking is slightly different - in that it won't so squat for your torso. Idiots.)






(And those planks BTD linked to are not planks as I know 'em. Those seem to be for arms, the ones I do are different and are for abs.)

Yeah, I suppose that should start with 'A' and not 'O' in this case....

Ya, they aren't but I was posting while working and I think most know what core planks are.

Plankton? Never ate it.
