"Planking" (or the "Lying Down Game") is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game.
THE DO'S AND DONT'S IN PLANKING
DON’T plank where others have planked before. No one likes a re-planker.
DO plank in moderation. No one wants to see you planking all over the place.
DON’T plank in the road. It doesn’t matter how rich your parents are, their HMO won’t cover planking-related injuries.
DO plank in public. Lying on the couch is not planking.
DON’T be the lone planker. Plank with a partner!
DO consider yourself a really lazy mime. Everyone hates mimes. You’re a less entertaining, more annoying
version of one. This leads to the next point…
DON’T expect respect. Even if you get a photo of yourself planking on Lee Todd’s solid gold desk, no one is really going to care that much.
