When one lies on their stomach with their hands directly at their sides and with their head pointed downwards.

The absolute stupidest shit ever. Come on, who finds this entertaining? I'd rather get my face ground off with fine-grit sandpaper. Slowly.
If you were wondering what it actually is, it's just a bunch of wierdos who have nothing to do but find the most weird-ass places to lay face-down. I saw this guy planking on the top of a McDonald's sign once. Just don't plank, it's so stupid and makes you look like a loser. Don't even get me started with owling.
