15 May 2011, Brisbane, Australia | Planking! What is it? 'Planking' is the peculiar wit and skill of lying flat as a plank in unusual locations--train tracks, fire hydrants, clotheslines, motorcycles--and posting public photographs for all to admire. This Australian craze had infected poor, poor Mr. Acton B., a Brisbane resident and former planking enthusiast, who was not (yet) aware that Balconies Are the Number One Cause of Gravity-Related Darwin Awards. Not knowing, he was doomed to repeat the lesson.
Planking is nothing without a photograph. For the camera, the 20-year-old stretched himself out face-down on the railing, arms by his sides, stiff as a plank, balanced on the fine line between fun... and done. Natural Selection nudged him over the line, and he fell seven stories to his death. Blessedly he was not naked.
The men down under have risen to the top of the zany crop, planking naked, planking on Police cruisers, even planking across the desks on TV Network News. Other falling deaths are described as "unrelated to planking." Planking has well and truly jumped the shark.
