Planking Comes To Thailand

When it comes to communication and bringing the world together, the Internet is perhaps the greatest invention since the Gutenberg Printing Press, and it gives me hope for humanity (at least its sense of humor), when its power can finally be put to proper use.  Planking.

The Planking below was taken by one of Nuch's friends who owns an Orchid Farm.  Apparently, the obedient farmhand in the picture, although a semi-willful participant, had (and still has) no idea what planking is.  In fact, I'm not really sure what it really is - except that it gives me a good chuckle.

Not everyone is laughing, though.  A senior monk in Thailand recently issued a statement that monks should refrain from planking.
