The new Planking craze

Planking is the action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it. The term “planking” was coined in Australia and became a fad in 2011. The fad has led to people trying to outdo each other by planking in unusual or dangerous locations.

On 15 May 2011, Acton Beale, a 20-year-old male, plunged to his death after reportedly “planking” on a seventh-floor balcony in Brisbane, Australia.

Here is a news report on it. Photos of it can be viewed here on the official Facebook Page for Plankers.

This image is NOT a painting

This image is NOT a painting. Nor is it a Photoshop job or an artist’s rendering. It’s a photograph, taken by National Geographic’s Frans Lanting. The photograph is of some camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Parkin the Namib Desert in Africa (considered the world’s oldest desert).

The trees and sand look real when viewed closely. The orange backdrop? That’s a dune reflecting Namibia’s rising sun. The white bits are plants growing on the dune, and the orange is the sand itself. If you go to the site and look at the larger version, it’s a lot more obvious.

It is hard to believe this has not been manipulated. The image is simply stunning.

The best of Boogaard

Minnesota hockey fans were sad to learn that Derek Boogaard died over the weekend. He brought passion and grit to the sport, and he will not be forgotten. R.I.P. Boogie Man. Here is a nice compilation of video of Derek doing what he did best…destroying people on the ice.

Dear people who like to dress up as comic book characters,

You don’t actually have super powers.

Sincerely,
