Are you “Planking?”
“The phenomenon of planking involves lying face down in a public place - the stranger the better - and posting photos on social networking sites such as Facebook. Aficionados lie expressionless with a straight body, hands by their sides and toes pointing into the ground.”
Basically you lay face down in random places and take pictures. Heres another write up:
Planking (or the Lying Down Game) is an activity consisting of lying in a face down position, sometimes in an unusual or incongruous location. The palms of the hands are typically touching the sides of the body and the toes are typically touching the ground. Some players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking refers to mimicking a wooden plank.

Once I heard about this from a younger coworker I think I asked three times “No, really, is it just that?”
I heard a guy in Australia already died trying to do one on his 7th floor balcony.
Sounds like some of that weird David Blain performance art crap.

This is all going to end in tears. I can feel it.
Does lying face down in a pool of your own vomit outside your local pub count? I’ve been doing this for years.

It’s called the ‘lying down game’ over here. Couple of friends got into trouble once for doing it at an airport
Reminds me of the “head in the fridge” thing, from a couple months ago.
They’ve been playing this game in Iraq for years!
