48、larkson, then 15, and his friend Christian Langdon, 12, would perform the plank in public places, amusing one another and puzzling onlookers. 37 The game was a pointless way for the boys to pass the time.

53、nking is a good way to pass the time.C. At that time, it was known simply as the Lying Down Game.D. We can read about planking all of the time on internet websites.E.
