Planking or the Lying Down Game is an art where people are photographed face down with stiffened arms and legs in public places. Two groups claim to have invented the prank – either in Somerset in 2000 as the “lying down game” or eight years later in South Australia as planking. Both groups have rival Facebook sites boasting more than 100,000 fans.
