That's Not A Plank ... This Is A Plank'

Planking (Facebook and Wiki for the NooB) has been taken to a whole new level…
Aussies are crazy, but we love it…More planking please

  • Photo shows woman planking on a croc
  • Biggest one caught in Territory this year
  • Crocodile 4.65m long, weighing 600kg
A young Northern Territory (of Australia) woman was lucky this crocodile was tied down and muzzled when she took the new craze of "planking" to a dangerously new level.
Otherwise she might have been munched for lunch.
The plank-ee is believed to be a woman by the name of Margi.
She didn't think her stunt was cruel.
The 4.65m, 600kg saltie was powerless to stop the plank prank at a crocodile farm.
It was taken to the farm after being caught in a permanent trap in the Katherine River last month.
The bull was so big that rangers had to use a four-wheel-drive to drag it out of the water.
It is the biggest croc caught in the Territory this year.
Ranger and crocodile catcher Tommy Nicholls said the saltie would become a "show croc", rather than a stud, because it was too big to breed.
"An animal that big usually ends up killing the females," he said.
NT police commissioner John McRoberts last month warned Territorians not to plank after a man fell seven storeys to his death from an apartment block in Brisbane0.
He said the craze was "no harmless fun".
Planking, being photographed lying face down in unusual and often dangerous places, has spread throughout the world this year.
